President Donald Trump has sent dismissal notices to the remaining U.S. attorneys who were appointed by Joe Biden during his tenure in the White house.

Reports confirmed emails were sent by the White House deputy director for the office of presidential personnel telling the recipients, "At the direction of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as U.S. attorney is terminated, effective immediately."

A website for the Department of Justice had listed just recently as many as two dozen officials appointed by Biden who had remained in their posts.

Typically during a changeover of administrations the incoming president asks for resignations.

Newsweek reported the DOJ had not commented on the turnover in staffing. But just weeks ago, Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove instructed the officials in the Washington, D.C., office to dismiss all the prosecutors who had been involved in the January 6 cases.

One immediate response that was noted came from Erek Barron, the U.S. attorney in Maryland, who wrote to staff members, "As many of you may know by now, my time with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Maryland has come to an end. It has been an honor to lead such a talented and dedicated team."
