Sources: White House ordered firing of L.A. federal prosecutor on ex-Fatburger CEO case

A federal prosecutor, Adam Schleifer, was fired on orders from the White House.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that the dismissal of U.S. Attorneys has occurred in coordination with the Department of Justice.
Critics claim Schleifer's firing sends a warning to prosecutors regarding the pursuit of cases against company executives who support Trump.
