The president, in the subsequently deleted post on his Social social networking site, expressed disapproval of such politicians as California Senator Adam Schiff and the Prosecutor General of New York, Letitia James. According to Trump, both of the Democratic Party are “guilty as hell” – this assessment was attributed to the French AFP agency. Trump apparently directed his words to Pam Bondi, who was the Minister of Justice.
The conflict has exacerbated when Bill Pulte, one of the President's close associates and the head of the federal FHFA agency tracking the mortgage market, accused Schiff and James of alleged falsification of credit documentation. “We can't delay, it destroys our credibility,” Trump wrote, continuing his appeals for decisive investigating actions.

The resignation was widely heard
The situation additionally gained pace on Friday, when the federal prosecutor of Virginia, Erik Siebert, resigned. The reason for his resignation was the position of refusing to initiate proceedings against James, due to, as he pointed out, there is no sufficient evidence. Trump had previously criticized Siebert, demanding his departure.
As the president announced on Saturday, the prosecutor will be taken by Lindsey Halligan, the current White House adviser. According to Trump, the newly appointed prosecutor is to be “hard and determined” in achieving key administrative goals. According to the president, Pam Bondi needs a prosecutor in his team who will be able to “move forward”.
Although the president's subsequent decisions are controversial, one thing remains clear: the political storm on the Republican-Democrats line in the United States clearly gaining strength.
