President Donald Trump fired acting US Attorney General Sally Yates after she defied him on his controversial executive order on immigrants and refugees, according to a statement White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer issued Monday night.
"The acting Attorney General, Sally Yates, has betrayed the Department of Justice by refusing to enforce a legal order designed to protect the citizens of the United States," the statement read in part.
Trump named Dana Boente, a US district attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, to serve in Yates's place until the president's attorney general appointee Jeff Sessions is confirmed.
Earlier Monday, Yates denounced Trump's executive order in a letter to Justice Department lawyers, saying it may not be lawful.
"I am responsible for ensuring that the positions we take in court remain consistent with this institution’s solemn obligation to always seek justice and stand for what is right," Yates said in the letter.

Yes, typing in low light.
Yates’ letter sounds like it was written by an eighth grader.
“...this institution’s solemn obligation to always seek justice and stand for what is right.”
Yoo-hoo! Justice! Where aaaarrrrre yooooo?
Nitwit. Her solemn obligation is to follow the LAW.
Not some namby-pamby “whatever-is-right” right now according to the PC gods. Sheesh.
Think of the number of people returning to work tomorrow, cringing at what will face them.
Many know the serious crimes that the O_tards minions have committed. Will they too be implicated?
Frightening thought. Not just the snowflakes, but the “career” bureaucraps too.
Yep, pure PC BS.
It’s all Kabuki theater.
Thanks. These idiot libs are acting like the job was hers by some royal decree.
“Maybe her husband is Mr. Cuck”
Naw, he is too old.
I believe DJT is up to this. He has played the part on TV and in real life. I sooo look forward to the Left realizing the spot they are in. I’m sick of them. Have been since the 60’s. But now the instinct is soo much stronger.
Maybe her husband is transgender previous female and kids are from AI ...sperm of known or unknown cis male human.
“Frightening thought. Not just the snowflakes, but the “career” bureaucraps too.”
One of the greatest things Trump can do immediately is to rip away their pensions. These career DC types can be there decades and walk away with a mighty handsome pension. For elected officials, many elected for multiple terms get life time medical - remove that along with their pensions.
Anyone fired automatically forfeits pension, medical and any accrued vacation time.
I was thinking more of a Bea Arthur-type voice!
I realize this won’t happen but one can think it. I believe what the now terminated AG is treason.
“has betrayed the Department of Justice by refusing to enforce a legal order designed to protect the citizens of the United States”
When he is confirmed as AG, Sessions should bring such charges against her and if found guilty - make it a quick execution. That would make the greatest statement.
She might well have a vagina but she is a slightly better looking version of Rene Richards.
She was laid to take the fall.
” I’m sure MSNBC will hire her.”
Now she is set. She can put on her pussy hat and go on the speaking circuit — or run for Congress.
She is the face of the swamp.
I'm all in. But I don't know what good that's going to do. They're going to have to look me up.

Fine, if she is the face of the swamp, remove them all.
