Federal prosecutor who had refused to prosecute his opponents Donald Trump Submitted yesterday, Friday, resignation of a few hours after the president of the USA He publicly demanded his departure, according to US media.
“I want to leave,” the Republican billionaire said in response to a journalist who asked him at the Oval Office if he wanted to get rid of his duties by the federal prosecutor of the eastern district of Virginia, Eric Siber.
Sibert submitted his resignation last night, US media reported.
He had recently considered that there was insufficient evidence to prosecute fraud against New York State Attorney Lefsia James, according to the US newspaper Washington Post.
James had secured Trump’s conviction of paying a very large fine of almost half a billion dollars before returning to the White House.
This conviction for fraud had eventually be canceled in late August by a New York Court of Appeal, which ruled that the fine was “excessive”.
According to US media, Eric Sibert had also refused to prosecute another enemy of Donald Trump, former FBI director James Comey.
Comey, who was eliminated in 2017 while investigating a possible Russian involvement in Donald Trump’s election campaign, is mainly accused by the US president of lying to Congress.
