President Donald Trump's White House fired a federal prosecutor on Wednesday just five hours after he was sworn in by a federal judge.

Donald T. Kinsella, 78, was appointed by a panel of judges to serve as an interim U.S. Attorney in the Northern District of New York, which happened the day after the term of Trump's current U.S. Attorney, John A. Sarcone III, expired. Kinsella, a Republican, was sworn in during a virtual ceremony by Chief Judge Brenda K. Sannes, The Times Union reported.

Kinsella has more than 50 years of experience as a prosecutor, including as an assistant U.S. attorney in Albany and a lawyer for the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force, the outlet reported.

Even so, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a post on X that Kinsella was "fired" because Trump had not appointed him.

"Judges don’t pick U.S. Attorneys, @POTUS does. See Article II of our Constitution. You are fired, Donald Kinsella," Blanche posted.

It is unclear whether Kinsella's firing will be challenged in court. LawFare's Senior Editor Anna Brewer reported that the announcement of Kinsella's appointment was still live on the court's website at the time Blanche "fired" him.

A well-known business professor on Wednesday revealed the one thing that he says could stop President Donald Trump's administration in its tracks.

Scott Galloway, a professor at NYU's Stern School of Business, said during an interview on "The Daily Beast Podcast" with Hugh Dougherty that Trump is most vulnerable to an economic strike of his Big Tech donors. That includes Amazon, Apple, X, and OpenAI, Galloway argued.

“This is a coin-operated president,” Galloway said. “And these individuals have decided that their one and only job is shareholder value. And I empathize with that, I get it. There’s a ton of pressure. Nobody wants to go first. But there needs to be collective action ... to say, ‘This has just gone too far.’ But what is it about? It’s about one thing. It’s about shareholder value. Full stop.”

Trump's 2024 presidential campaign received a significant boost from Big Tech. For instance, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, who also owns The Washington Post, killed the newspaper's presidential endorsement. Meanwhile, companies like Meta, Google, and Apple made hefty donations to Trump's inauguration fund.

Even though these companies appear wedded to Trump, Galloway revealed they are still vulnerable to a certain kind of pressure.

“These companies are highly sensitive to growth rates and projected growth rates,” Galoway added. “The easiest way to maybe save some money and have a really big impact and send a message to the markets, to Trump, and to other citizens that they can have an impact is to resist and unsubscribe.”

A Democratic Senator was baffled on Wednesday by some "clueless" comments Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) made about President Donald Trump's latest failed indictment.

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) joined CNN's Kaitlan Collins on "The Source" to discuss the Trump administration's failed attempt to indict him and five other Democrats over a social media video they made reminding service members that they do not have to obey illegal orders.

Collins played a couple of clips for Kelly of Johnson talking about the case. In one clip, Johnson said that the Democratic lawmakers could be seen as obstructing law enforcement. In the other, Johnson claimed he didn't have enough information about Kelly's case to comment on it.

Johnson's remarks irked Kelly.

"What the hell is Mike Johnson talking about?" Kelly said. "Obstructing law enforcement. Does he have any idea what he is even talking about?"

After the six Democrats posted the video, Trump called their behavior seditious and called for them to be prosecuted. Administration officials also called for Kelly, a 25-year Navy veteran, to be court-martialed and demoted for his actions.

Kelly revealed that other veterans he's spoken with have changed their tune after seeing how Trump has treated him.
