Kim, Booker Statement on Trump Administration Firing First Assistant Desiree Grace

WASHINGTON, D.C.–Today, U.S. Senators Andy Kim (D-NJ) and Cory Booker (D-NJ) issued the following statement:
“Trump’s Department of Justice is once again criticizing a court that acted within its authority, continuing a pattern of publicly undermining judicial decisions and showing disregard for the rule of law and the separation of powers.
“The firing of a career public servant, lawfully appointed by the court, is another blatant attempt to intimidate anyone that doesn’t agree with them and undermine judicial independence.
“This Administration may not like the law, but they are not above it.
“The people of New Jersey deserve a U.S. Attorney who will enforce the law and pursue justice for the people of our state without partisanship or politics.”
