Veteran Prosecutor Donald Kinsella Dismissed Hours After Swearing-In
In a rapid reversal of personnel decisions, a top official within the Trump administration has fired US attorney Donald Kinsella less than five hours after he was formally appointed to the post. The veteran prosecutor was dismissed by the White House shortly after being sworn in as the replacement for John Sarcone.
Kinsella’s brief appointment followed a ruling that his predecessor, Sarcone, had unlawfully outstayed his tenure in the position. The swift termination of Kinsella immediately following his oath of office marks an unusual development in the leadership transition. As of now, officials have not provided further details regarding the specific reasons behind the abrupt decision to rescind the appointment.
