Trump calls for firing of US attorney investigating Tish James
WASHINGTON — The federal prosecutor weighing mortgage fraud claims against New York state Attorney General Leticia James should be fired, President Trump said Friday.
“I want him out,” the president told reporters in the Oval Office in response to a question about US Attorney Erik Siebert, whom he nominated to the post for the Eastern District of Virginia back in May.

Siebert has yet to be confirmed by the Senate, but Trump said he changed his mind after he learned that Democrat Virginia Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner had expressed support for him.
“When I saw that he got two senators, two gentlemen that are bad news, as far as I’m concerned, when I saw that he got approved by these two men, I said, ‘Pull him,’ because he can’t be any good,” Trump claimed.
Trump administration allies have been pushing for James to be rung up on charges that she falsified mortgage information for Virginia and New York properties — with Justice Department pardon attorney Ed Martin set to meet with Siebert Monday to discuss the case, sources told The Post earlier Friday.
