   The #DOJ🚨almost immediately fired longtime litigator James W Hundley in the Eastern District of VA, after he was unanimously appointed to serve as interim US ATTY Fri, continuing a clash over control of one of the country’s highest-profile prosecutor’s offices.

     I don't believe the relevant statute allows the DoJ to fire an interim USA appointed by the district court judges in their district, owing to the president's failure to get a permanent USA confirmed by the Senate.
