Virginia's Attorney General Erik S. Siebert resigned due to pressure from Trump, causing a significant stir in the political arena.

Siebert announced his resignation via an email to his office staff, stating, "This evening, I requested my resignation from the Eastern District of Virginia."

Trump claimed on his social media platform Truth Social, "He didn't resign, I fired him," questioning Siebert's departure.

Siebert's resignation is linked to pressures related to investigations against New York Attorney General Letitia James. Trump alleged that James was involved in corruption.

Siebert was recognized for his extensive experience in significant cases throughout his 15-year career. However, the Trump administration's tendency to interfere in federal prosecutor appointments has become a focal point of criticism.
