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.

Maybe her husband is Mr. Cuck
I think the left ..from the media to dems to these protestors look foolish and weak. They come across as screaming children, constantly shouting “the sky is falling” from the roof top over something Trump said or did.
They look impotent tbh
I asked this already but what is their plan? You can’t win elections by being hostile idiots. You have to have some sort of plan for immigration, the economy, etc.
She and her husband Comer have two children.....
She may be married to a Comer but Trump made her a Goer.
hahahahahahahaha
Obama should extend his vacation
Time to buckle up, bumpy ride ahead.
I don’t know what to think about the pic.
Yes, it would be a good idea.
She should loose her license to practice Law.
I PRAY everyone that voted for this man is READY for this fight, I somehow believe in my gut that the regular Americans are REALLY SICK OF THIS CRAP!!!! I hope I am correct that these NEVER ENDING temper tantrums are just disgusting the American public!!! This tantrum over Muslims has got to be the icing on the cake for MOST Americans!!!
She probably wants to run for congress.
Go President Trump! Rid the nation of these LIB loser lunatics.
CNN was the first source, even Fox used them in their first post.
This was pre-planned and scripted for months.
More ComDem Insanity!
She thought her oath of office was silly for someone as superior as she saw herself... I mean she's got a vagina, right - she can 'roar' her garbage to fellow liberal fools and they'll buy whatever she says.... Isn't that all it takes?
And to think her affirmative action place in her law school stopped a more qualified person from the profession. What a shame.
I don’t understand all the furor over this. Would she have stayed on in some capacity after sen sessions is confirmed? Or, was she already on her way out?
“What’s he gonna do ? Fire me ?”
LOL. I assume you’re a guy, Brady, and I swear I could “hear” you say that in falsetto, with fake girly gestures.
Judging by the election results, I totally agree with you.
We must back him and let him Drain the Swamp.
Sounds like the depth of the draining will be much lower than they expected.
That would have depended upon Sessions.
I feel that many of the higher positions will vacate themselves trying to avoid possible prosecution for their crimes. How this plays out will be very very interesting.
Do you mean "indict" her?

There must be some charges that can applied against Yates. I could see severe enough charges warranting capital punishment. But, that won’t happen...but would be a way to thin the herd.
