The Obama-appointed acting Attorney General Sally Yates was replaced last night by Dana Boente. The White House statement said: "The acting Attorney General, Sally Yates, has betrayed the Department of Justice by refusing to enforce a legal order designed to protect the citizens of the United States.” Boente was formerly a U.S. Attorney in Virginia.
