Today, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand released the following statement after the White House fired newly appointed interim U.S. Attorney for New York’s Northern District, Donald T. Kinsella:
“This is the latest example of the chaos of the Trump administration failing Americans and making New Yorkers less safe. Instead of focusing on public safety and appointing qualified leaders to uphold the rule of law, the Trump administration continues to advance unqualified political loyalists while firing those who are qualified and competent. Upstate New Yorkers are not political pawns, and they deserve a justice system defined by integrity, not this juvenile nonsense.”
