The Trump administration has fired Darcie McElwee, the Biden-appointed U.S. Attorney for the District of Maine, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office announced on Monday that McElwee, who had held the position as Maine’s chief federal law enforcement officer since her appointment by President Joe Biden in 2021, had been terminated.

McElwee will be replaced by Craig Wolff, a career prosecutor who has served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney since 2002.

Now Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Maine, Wolff has prosecuted a wide variety of crimes throughout his career, but has focused primary on child exploitation offenses, according to his Department of Justice profile.

Prior to joining the District of Maine, he was an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the District of Maryland for four years. He holds an undergraduate degree from Harvard University and earned his law degree from the University of Virginia.

McElwee was informed of her termination by President Trump on Sunday by email, according to WGME.

“As the sun sets on my time with the Department of Justice, I am thankful for the opportunity to have led in service to the American people. It has been an extraordinary honor to serve as Maine’s United States Attorney,” McElwee said in a statement to WGME.

“I am overwhelmed with appreciation and gratitude for the support, talents, integrity, and commitment to the rule of law of my current and former colleagues at the U.S. Attorney’s Office and at partner law enforcement agencies across Maine, many of whom I have worked with for more than two decades,” McElwee said.
