The US Department of Justice has fired two top prosecutors in Eastern Virginia, Maya Song and Michael Ben’Ary, amid turmoil over the office’s handling of a high-profile case involving former FBI Director James Comey. The firings come just days after President Trump removed the US Attorney in Alexandria, Virginia, and replaced him with White House aide Lindsey Halligan. Halligan successfully secured a grand jury indictment against Comey, who was charged with mishandling classified documents. Critics say the move is part of a pattern of firing prosecutors with ties to high-profile cases, raising concerns about loyalty over competence in the Justice Department.
