DOJ Purge Intensifies as Bondi Dismisses Ethics Chief and Staff Involved in Trump Investigations
Amid a significant upheaval within the U.S. Department of Justice, Attorney General Pam Bondi has fired her top ethics adviser as part of an unprecedented purge targeting officials connected to investigations of former President Trump. Reports indicate that at least 20 employees, including those involved in the classified documents case and January 6 prosecutions, have been dismissed. The upheaval has led to the departure of two-thirds of the DOJ team that was responsible for defending Trump administration policies, raising concerns about a culture of fear within the agency. Ethics watchdogs have expressed alarm over the recent firings, which they believe threaten the integrity of the justice system.
