It seems that the dismissed leader of the national security prosecutor, in the visible, accused the leaders of justice of “making American citizens less safe” against the backdrop of a number of dismissals, according to the letter of his colleagues received by the source, who said that the message was placed on the folded door of the prosecutor’s office.
Michael tonight, Who are three sources familiar with the situation confirmed NBC News He was stopped on Wednesday after the post on social networks from the writer expressed on Trump suggested that he Part of the “internal resistance” To Indicating the former FBI director James KomiIt would seem that he wrote that he complained: “What happened to this office and the Ministry of Justice in just a few short months.”
Ben'ar worked in the US prosecutor’s office in the Eastern District of Virginia. The letter said that his former oath to the Constitution remains their responsibility for support.
“It is this oath that requires you to follow the facts and laws, wherever they lead, freely from fear or favor, and unhindered from political intervention. In recent months, the political leadership of the Department has violated these principles, facing our national security and making American citizens less safe, ”the letter said.
A letter attributed to Ben'ary also states that “the decisions of the Ministry of Justice to remove experienced officials of career from the offices of American lawyers, the FBI and other critical units of the Ministry of Justice undermine the ability of our country to withstand terrorist organizations, the evil actors of the national state and the ravaged others who are striving to harm our country and its citizens.”
The letter attributed to Ben'ari said that he was fired for no reason, for the same, “based on a little more than one post on social networks containing false information”, referring to the post of X from Julie Kelly, a conservative commentator who previously played for the defendants on January 6.
Kelly had Published This is “one can only assume” that Ben'ar, a veteran of the prosecutor, who headed the department of the national security of the office, “was a large part of the internal resistance” to indicate Komi.
Lindsay Halligan, the new acting American lawyer in the Eastern District of Virginia, accused Komi of making a false statement and an obstacle in the process of Congress in connection with the testimony that he gave during the hearing in the Senate on September 30, 2020 The prosecutors in her department had fearsNBC News reported. Komi denies some kind of offense.
President Donald Trump publicly called on the Prosecutor General Pam Bondi to persecute Komi, who remained in the crosshair of the president since his first term.
Kelly answered On Friday, a letter attributed to Ben'ary, partially written: “In this letter it is simply confirmed that we will have new ones so that Edva Lindsay Halligan will take the right step in the dismissal of him. Should we believe now by reading the same worn partisan attack on Trump, that he was neutral in contradiction in the office? “
NBC News Previously reported This, according to three sources, Ben'ar did not work in the Komi case.
Before his dismissal, Ben'ar chased a case against Muhammad Sharifulla, suspected of terrorism, charged in the United States in connection with the bombing of the abbey of the Kabul International Airport in 2021. In this bombing, 13 US troops were killed when the United States left Afghanistan.
“While I am very confident in my college, my sharp, obviously, thoughtless removal without the transition period will damage this matter,” the letter says.
“This example emphasizes the most alarming aspect of the current operations of the Ministry of Justice: the leadership is more preoccupied with the punishment of perceived enemies of the president than the protection of our national security,” the letter says. “Justice for the Americans killed and wounded by our enemies should not depend on the fact that someone from the Ministry of Justice sees in his social networks that day.”
The US Department of Justice and the US prosecutor’s office in the Eastern District of Virginia did not respond to comments. Ben'ar could not be achieved for comments.
The dismissal of Ben'ary is the last in the flight series in the Eastern District of Virginia.
Eric S. Zibert retired last month Being the acting of an American lawyer in the eastern district of Virginia after Trump said that he wanted him to “come out”.
And Maya Song, another prosecutor of the Ministry of Justice, was also fired from this office last month, NBC News reportedField
Both Ben'ary and Song served during the Biden administration at the former deputy prosecutor General Lisa Monaco, who headed the early stages of Trump's federal investigations.
