The American lawyer, who failed to accuse Trump’s discount, resigns under pressure from the administration

Eric Sepert confirmed his departure in an email to colleagues, who was reviewed by the Associated Press, in which he praised them “the finest and more exceptional” for the employees of the Ministry of Justice, but he did not mention the political turmoil that preceded his resignation.

The replacement of Sepert as an American lawyer comes in the prestigious eastern province office in Virginia amid the payment of Trump administration officials to accuse James, a perceived opponent of the president who successfully filed a lawsuit against him. President Donald Trump told correspondents at the Oval Office on Friday that he wanted Sepert “outside” and told many people who are later informed of the Association of the Associated that Sibrt informed his colleagues of his plan to resign from this position.

The administration’s efforts to topple him from the job are an additional erosion of the standards that aim to isolate the Ministry of Justice from the impact of the White House on the decisions of the Public Prosecution. This step is likely to deepen fears that the administration – which is already achieved in other public figures Trump is considered enemies – is armed by the White House who seeks to use the Public Prosecution authorities for revenge purposes.

It was not immediately clear on the afternoon of Friday afternoon to replace Sepert, which Trump nominated to the higher position in the office this year after he worked there for more than a decade. One of the people familiar with the issue said that the senior representative of Siebert, Maya Song, leaves her position as the first American lawyer and will act as a public prosecutor.

The spokesman for the Ministry of Justice declined to comment.

Trump administration officials are strongly probably against James, which arises from the alleged paper works on her home in Brooklyn and Virginia’s house. The Ministry of Justice has spent months in conducting the investigation, but it has not yet been charged, and there was no indication that the prosecutors were able to reveal any degree of evidence that could support an indictment.

In response to a question about the issue at the White House on Friday, Trump said, without reference to any evidence, “It seems to me as if it is really guilty of something, but I don’t really know.” Trump also said he was annoyed that Sieber was supported by the state’s Democratic Senate members.

James’s lawyers have strongly denied any allegations and described the investigation as a work for political revenge.

ABC News was the first to inform that the Trump administration officials were pressuring the prosecutors to connect the charges and that the Republican administration was preparing to overthrow Separte.

James has always been a special source of anger for Trump, partly because of the lawsuit filed against him and his company that led Huge financial penalty last year. This punishment was brought up last month by an appeals court that frankly upheld the judge who reached that Trump had been involved in fraud by exaggerating his wealth for decades.

The case took a series of unconventional turns. It appeared last month that Ed Martin, who leads The weapons group of the Ministry of Justice It helps in coordinating the investigation, send message James urged the resignation of his position as “goodwill” after the initiative to defraud her mortgage. He later appeared outside the house of James Brooklyn in the coat of the “Colombo” trench. A writer in the New York Post noticed at the scene, telling one of the neighbors: “I just look at homes and homes. It is an important house.”

James’s lawyer, Abe Laile, told Martin in message The request for James resignation challenge the standards of the Ministry of Justice, the rules of professional responsibility and legal ethics.

“This is more than ever when this request is submitted to request political revenge against a public employee in the opposite party,” said Lowel.

Sepert, a former police officer in Colombia, joined the eastern province of Virginia, a prosecution office at the Ministry of Justice with the Ministry of Justice with the history of advanced national security and criminal cases, in 2010.

The office participated separately in the investigation of matters related to Investigation years ago In the possible relations between Russia and the 2016 Trump presidential campaign, the president’s longing for a long time. No fees were announced as part of this work.

Although American lawyers are presidential appointed, they are rarely launched. However, the Trump administration ignored the standards and traditions that are repeatedly aimed at protecting the prosecutors of the Ministry of Justice from the political influence of the White House.

Martin’s investigation from the letter of a director of the Federal Housing Agency, William Polly, to the Prosecutor Bam Bondi in April, is asking her to investigate and think about the James trial, claiming that she was “forged bank documents and property records.”

Polati, who is organizing his agency for mortgage financiers, Fani May and Faridi Mac, cited “media reports” that James had lied to a house in Virginia as a major residence for her, and suggested that she may have been trying to avoid the highest interest rates that apply to the second homes.

The records of James appear as a joint farm in a house that her sister’s daughter was buying in 2023. Luel said the records and correspondence were easily refuted by Polati’s claim. While James signed a model on the lawyer’s strength, Luel said: “I said it said that the property was the main residence headquarters of Mrs. James,” she sent an email to the mortgage loan broker at the same time as the real estate explained, “It will not be the primary disobedience.”
