The Justice Department fired career prosecutors who worked on the federal investigations of Trump during Joe Biden’s presidency.

On the second day of his presidency, Donald Trump secured yet another victory from his ally Judge Aileen Cannon.

Mr. Trump has declared on Truth Social that Mr. Smith “should be prosecuted for election interference & prosecutorial misconduct.” The president has also called him a “career criminal.” He also reposted the radio host Mark Levin’s view that “Jack Smith must go to prison.”

None of them had said publicly that they wanted a pardon, and it’s not clear any of them would have accepted one. But some top Democrats, like Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, had endorsed the notion of preemptively pardoning prosecutors, particularly Smith.

The first press conference of Trump’s second term had a lot in common with the freewheeling, falsehood-packed sessions of his first.

U.S. Attorney Hayden O'Byrne asked the appeals court to dismiss the classified documents case in a way it could not be appealed again.

Senator Tim Kaine, Democrat of Virginia, quickly condemned the Trump administration’s offer to roughly 2 million federal employees to resign in exchange for pay, saying in a Senate floor speech that the deal was a trick, that the president didn’t have the authority to make the offer and employees who resign may not be paid.

The acting attorney general fired more than a dozen officials who assisted special counsel Jack Smith's prosecutions against President Donald Trump.

The termination of more than a dozen lawyers who worked with the special counsel, Jack Smith, came hours after the department’s most senior career official was reassigned.

President Donald Trump's first days in office already offer signals about how his next four years in the White House may unfold.

With actions big and small, Trump has spent his first days in office pushing the levers of government – and his unique powers as commander in chief – to target his perceived political enemies both inside and outside the government.

Efforts to impeach Donald Trump for a third time are ramping up as he begins his second term as president. Newsweek has contacted the White House for comment via email. The renewed push for Donald Trump's impeachment underscores the deep political divisions in the country and the ongoing fallout from his campaign.
