"White House immediately fires U.S. attorney chosen by judges to replace Trump's pick
Donald Kinsella was appointed and sworn in as the U.S. attorney in the Northern District of New York and fired by the White House the same day.
The White House fired the top federal prosecutor for upstate New York just hours after he was sworn into office Wednesday.
Donald Kinsella, who has worked for decades as a government attorney and in private practice, was appointed and sworn in as the U.S. attorney in the Northern District of New York in a private ceremony, the court said on its website. Later that day, he was fired in an email from the White House.
Kinsella told NBC News on Thursday that the email came from the deputy director of presidential personnel, Morgan DeWitt Snow, and that it said the “president directed that I be removed," without any explanation.
Reached for comment, the White House directed NBC News to a social media post by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.
"Judges don’t pick U.S. Attorneys, @POTUS does. See Article II of our Constitution. You are fired, Donald Kinsella," Blanche said Wednesday night on X."

I think Trump puts it best- "You're fired!"
The judicial resistance has suffered a set back.
