Donald Trump sacks acting Attorney-General Sally Yates over travel ban remarks Updated about an hour ago Photo: Acting US Attorney-General Sally Yates believes Donald Trump's travel ban is unlawful. (Reuters: Kevin Lamarque) Related Story: Trump denies travel ban to blame for US airport chaos Related Story: Don't let Trump embarrass our Queen, say more than a million Britons Map: United States United States President Donald Trump has sacked acting Attorney-General Sally Yates, accusing her of "betraying the Department of Justice" after she directed her attorneys not to defend his controversial executive refugee and immigration ban. Key points: White House accused Ms Yates of "betraying the Department of Justice" Ms Yates appointed by Obama Administration, Senator Jeff Sessions likely eventual replacement White House spokesman said American diplomats opposed to travel ban can "get with the program or they can go" Ms Yates had said she was not convinced Mr Trump's travel ban was 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," Ms Yates said. "At present, I am not convinced that the defence of the executive order is consistent with these responsibilities, nor am I convinced that the executive order is lawful." Who is Sally Yates? Appointed by Barack Obama as first female US attorney in 2010 for the Northern District of Georgia Confirmed as deputy Attorney-General in 2015, became acting Attorney-General when Loretta Lynch resigned on Donald Trump's inauguration day Prosecuted several white-collar fraud and political corruption cases Lead prosecutor of Eric Rudolph, whose bomb planted at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia killed one person and injured more than 150 others In a 2015 speech, she said: "I draw inspiration not only from my grandmother, who was one of the first women to pass the Georgia bar exam, but also my father and grandfather, both lawyers and later judges, who recognised the power of the law to right wrongs." A statement from the White House confirmed Mr Trump had "relieved Ms Yates of her duties", accusing her of "betraying the Department of Justice".
  4. AP: Trump's voter fraud expert registered in 3 states SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A man who President Donald Trump has promoted as an authority on voter fraud was registered to vote in multiple states during the 2016 presidential election, the Associated Press has learned. Gregg Phillips, whose unsubstantiated claim that the election was marred by 3 million illegal votes was tweeted by the president, was listed on the rolls in Alabama, Texas and Mississippi, according to voting records and election officials in those states. He voted only in Alabama in November, records show. In a post earlier this month, Phillips described "an amazing effort" by volunteers tied to True the Vote, an organization whose board he sits on, who he said found "thousands of duplicate records and registrations of dead people." Trump has made an issue of people who are registered to vote in more than one state, using it as one of the bedrocks of his overall contention that voter fraud is rampant in the U.S. and that voting by 3 to 5 million immigrants illegally in the country cost him the popular vote in November. The AP found that Phillips was registered in Alabama and Texas under the name Gregg Allen Phillips, with the identical Social Security number. Mississippi records list him under the name Gregg A. Phillips, and that record includes the final four digits of Phillips' Social Security number, his correct date of birth and a prior address matching one once attached to Gregg Allen Phillips. He has lived in all three states. At the time of November's presidential election, Phillips' status was "inactive" in Mississippi and suspended in Texas. Officials in both states told the AP that Phillips could have voted, however, by producing identification and updating his address at the polls. AP: Trump's voter fraud expert registered in 3 states
