L-Avukat Ġenerali tal-Istati Uniti, Jeff Sessions, tkeċċa minn din il-kariga mill-President Donald Trump. Trump ikkonferma fi tweet li ċ-Chief of Staff tal-Avukat Ġenerali stess, Matthew J. Whitaker, se jkun qed jieħu postu.
Sessions tkeċċa mill-kariga tiegħu wara xhur ta’ kritika lejn il-President Amerikan, minkejja li kien fost l-ewwel persuni li appoġġjawh meta ħabbar li se jikkontesta l-elezzjoni presidenzjali tal-Istati Uniti.
We are pleased to announce that Matthew G. Whitaker, Chief of Staff to Attorney General Jeff Sessions at the Department of Justice, will become our new Acting Attorney General of the United States. He will serve our Country well….
