💥 BREAKING NEWS: Trump’s fake “U.S. Attorneys” get fired by judges but keep squatting in office like legal trespassers⚡NN

Federal prosecutors are supposed to be the most serious people in the justice system. Under Donald Trump, they’ve become something closer to legal squatters.

Across multiple federal districts, judges are firing Trump-appointed “interim” U.S. Attorneys — and those same lawyers are refusing to leave, still signing their names on official documents as if nothing happened. What should be a straightforward constitutional process has turned into a slow-motion coup inside the Department of Justice.

Here’s how it’s supposed to work:
When an interim U.S. Attorney’s 120-day term expires, federal judges can either extend it or replace them. If a judge says you’re done, you’re done. You pack your box, hand in your badge, and walk out.

Under Trump’s regime? They just… stay.

Judges in multiple districts have now told Trump’s handpicked loyalists:
You are not the United States Attorney. You were never properly appointed. You do not have the authority you claim.

And yet, those same loyalists keep acting as if they’re still in charge.

In the Eastern District of Virginia, Trump ally Lindsey Halligan was already tossed off the politically-motivated cases against James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. A judge ruled she was never lawfully in the job — not confirmed by the Senate, not properly approved by the local judges.

That should have been the end of the story.

Instead, Halligan is still signing court documents as “United States Attorney,” not even bothering to call herself “interim.” Judges are literally scratching her name off filings, adding asterisks, and telling line prosecutors in open court:

“She is not the U.S. Attorney. Stop putting her name on pleadings.”

Those rank-and-file prosecutors are stuck in the middle, forced to admit they’re being ordered by Main Justice in Washington to keep using Halligan’s name, even after she’s been declared a legal nullity.

This isn’t a paperwork error. This is a deliberate act of defiance against the courts.

And it’s not just Virginia.

In New Jersey, Trump loyalist Alina Habba pulled the same move — styling herself as U.S. Attorney despite lacking any meaningful federal prosecutorial experience. Judges removed her. Trump’s team tried to get around it by having her fire the person the judges did approve (the First Assistant U.S. Attorney), then claim she’d “inherited” the job.

The appeals court’s response was basically:
Absolutely not. You can’t steal someone else’s job after the court fires you.

Former U.S. Attorney Harry Litman, who ran the Western District of Pennsylvania, didn’t sugar coat what this means: the DOJ under Trump looks like a “seceding enclave” running its own fake justice system — ignoring statutes, ignoring appointments rules, and openly flipping off the courts.

The stakes aren’t abstract. This isn’t just about Comey, Letitia James, or other high-profile targets of Trump’s revenge fantasies. Every single ordinary criminal case handled under these fake U.S. Attorneys is now vulnerable:

• Defense lawyers can argue indictments were tainted because they were supervised and signed by people with no lawful authority.
• Judges are being forced into open confrontation with “unqualified, unlawful” leaders in their own courthouses.
• The entire credibility of DOJ in those districts is collapsing.

Litman calls it “breathtakingly lawless.” The judges say these people are fired. Trump’s DOJ replies, essentially: You didn’t say we had to stop pretending they have the job.

In Halligan’s case, DOJ’s legal theory is so absurd it borders on parody:
Yes, she’s been ruled unqualified. Yes, she was unlawfully appointed. But the order didn’t explicitly say she had to take her name off the letterhead — so they’re keeping her there anyway.

In Habba’s case, the logic is even worse. After judges installed the First Assistant to lead the office, Trump’s people had her fired and claimed that meant the court’s authority magically transferred to Habba. Judges had to explain, like exasperated parents talking to a toddler, that you cannot fire your way back into a job the court already took from you.

What’s the endgame here?

It’s not about competence. It’s not about public safety. It’s not even about winning cases. It’s about one thing: loyalty to Donald Trump at all costs.

Trump, Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, and the rest of his inner circle would rather jeopardize every legitimate case in those districts than surrender control of the top job to someone they don’t own. They’re willing to alienate every judge, risk dismissals, and tank prosecutions, just to prove that no one — not even the courts — can tell them who’s in charge.

This is what happens when you treat the Department of Justice like a family law firm and the U.S. Attorney’s Office like a political cosplay stage. You get squatters at the top, chaos in the middle, and a justice system that looks less like a republic and more like a pretend kingdom inside a federal courthouse.

And while Trump’s fake prosecutors cling to titles they don’t legally hold, real Americans are left wondering a terrifying question:

If the people signing your indictment aren’t even lawfully in office…
What else has this regime been faking?
