An open letter to the U.S. Congress

URGENT: Trump Fires Prosecutor for Refusing to File Fake Charges, Take Action

32 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

Trump is firing U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert because Siebert refused to file fake charges against NY Attorney General Letitia James. Siebert’s investigation found no evidence James committed mortgage fraud. Trump demanded prosecution anyway. When Siebert said no, Trump fired him. This is illegal use of federal prosecutors to target political enemies. Congress must stop this now. Siebert runs the Eastern District of Virginia office that handles most national security cases - espionage, terrorism, organized crime. His office has 300 prosecutors serving 6 million people. Mass resignations are expected. Trump’s own senators recommended Siebert. Federal judges extended his tenure. A 15-year veteran prosecutor cannot be fired for refusing to manufacture charges against innocent people. Take action immediately. Launch oversight hearings into Trump’s DOJ weaponization. Pass legislation protecting prosecutors from political retaliation. Investigate Trump’s pressure campaigns against Senator Schiff and Fed Governor Cook. Our justice system depends on prosecutors following evidence, not presidential revenge orders. Stop this corruption before it destroys prosecutorial independence completely.
