That was quick!

President Trump has just fired an attorney for the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York.

The firing came just hours after the U.S. attorney was sworn in.

The firing was first announced on X by Deputy AG Todd Blanche.

The firing comes at the same time the DOJ fired antitrust chief Gail Slater.

Fox News provided more details on Slater’s firing:

President Donald Trump fired Gail Slater, his top antitrust enforcer, on Thursday over concerns she was failing to aggressively pursue his affordability agenda, according to multiple sources.

Slater announced her departure on X on Thursday, saying she was leaving with “great sadness and abiding hope” and that it was the “honor of a lifetime to serve” in her role. But her ouster was unsurprising to those familiar with the antitrust division.

Slater, a one-time policy adviser to Vice President JD Vance, left a string of controversies in her wake, and, according to conversations Fox News Digital had with multiple sources, she was seen as too lax on the issue of affordability in the eyes of Justice Department leadership, leading to her termination.

In one heated controversy, Slater opposed the DOJ settling a lawsuit that would have blocked a merger between Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Juniper Networks. But Attorney General Pam Bondi and national security officials wanted to move forward with the settlement and overruled Slater, sources said. The sources said the dispute fractured Slater’s relationship with leadership and became so contentious that it led to the ouster of two of her deputies.
