The U.S. Justice Department said Friday that Attorney General Jeff Sessions is calling for the resignations of 46 federal prosecutors held over from former president Barack Obama's administration.
The DOJ acted in reference to the case of Maurice Walker of Calhoun, Georgia, who was jailed for six nights after police arrested and charged him for the misdemeanor offense of walking under the influence. He was told he could not get out of jail unless he paid the fixed bail amount of $160, according to NBC News.
