The Biden administration is reportedly working to remove U.S. attorneys confirmed by the Senate during the Trump administration.

According to The Daily Wire:

“The resignation request is expected to apply to 56 Senate-confirmed US attorneys appointed by Trump,” CNN reported. “Justice officials have scheduled a call with US attorneys around the country to discuss a transition that is expected to take weeks. The Justice official didn’t say when the resignations would take effect.”

Acting Attorney General Monty Wilkinson reportedly asked Delaware US Attorney David Weiss to remain in his role during a call on Monday night. Weiss is overseeing a federal criminal investigation into the business dealings of Biden’s son, Hunter Biden.

CNN noted that Wilkinson will also not touch Special Counsel John Durham’s criminal investigation into the origins of the Russia probe, but he is expected to resign from his role as U.S. attorney in Connecticut. In December, Fox News reported that Durham was continuing to expand his criminal investigation, which began before the pandemic.

After the media downplayed explosive reporting before the election about Hunter Biden, he admitted in early December that he was under criminal investigation, but claimed that he had just learned about it.

The investigation was put on hold during the final months of the presidential election however has since resumed. Last week, the President’s son announced he is currently writing a memoir that will focus on his substance abuse issues. [Related: Hunter Biden Announces Next Money-Making Scheme]
