This is a list of United States attorneys appointed by the 45th president of the United States, Donald Trump.
President Trump nominated 86 people to be U.S. attorneys, and 84 of them were confirmed. There are a total of 93 U.S. attorneys in the Department of Justice.
During Trump's term, seven U.S. attorneys named were women, including acting attorneys, and one of his first 42 appointments was a woman. Seven individuals named to vacancies among the 93 positions were people of color.[1]
In February 2021, the new Biden administration's DOJ asked 56 Trump-era attorneys to resign by the end of the month.[2]
