The fight over the Trump administration's appointment of U.S. attorneys has taken another turn with the Justice Department's firing of a newly appointed U.S. attorney in Northern New York.

After the DOJ's appointment of acting U.S. Attorney John Sarcone III ran out, a court on Wednesday appointed Donald Kinsella to lead the U.S. attorney's office in that district, according to a notice from the court.

But just hours after Kinsella's appointment, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche fired him.
