Bondi fires a third federal prosecutor in Miami office, linked to anti-Trump posts

By Jay Weaver September 25, 2025 12:26 PM


Will Rosenzweig, considered a rising prosecutor at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Miami, was fired on Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2025, by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi over anti-Trump posts he made on a blog in 2017 while he was in private practice. He is the third Miami federal prosecutor Bondi has fired since taking office in January over Trump-related issues.

Federal prosecutor Will Rosenzweig took a short break from his healthcare fraud and money-laundering cases at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Miami this week to observe the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, with his family. … But he noticed something was amiss when his office-issued mobile phone wasn’t working on Tuesday. He called the office to find out what was wrong.

Rosenzweig soon learned his phone was shut off because he had been fired by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi. He did not see her terse email sent on Tuesday dismissing him during the Jewish holiday — making the 39-year-old lawyer the third federal prosecutor in the Southern District of Florida to be summarily fired by the Bondi-led Justice Department since Donald Trump started his second term as president in January.

But Rosenzweig — considered to be among the rising prosecutors in the office — wasn’t fired because he had been associated with the criminal investigations of Trump by the Justice Department’s special counsel during the prior Biden administration. That was why two other respected federal prosecutors in the Miami office were abruptly terminated this year.

Rather, Rosenzweig was fired, according to multiple sources, because of the negative things he said about Trump on a social media blog before he became a federal prosecutor in Miami. When he was working for the prominent law firm Kobre & Kim in Washington during Trump’s first term, Rosenzweig posted criticisms of the president starting in 2017 — posts that were recently brought to the attention of the Justice Department.
