Trump eyes another DOJ earthquake with Pam Bondi barely out the door: report
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
Just days after firing Attorney General Pam Bondi, Donald Trump is already eyeing another major leadership shake-up at the Justice Department, according to a new report.Trump is targeting the department's No. 3 official while promoting one of his most ardent loyalists, sources told CBS News Saturday. The expected changes would demote Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward while elevating Harmeet Dhillon, currently head of the Civil Rights Division, to one of the department's top roles.Dhillon has been one of the most controversial figures at Trump's DOJ since taking over the Civil Rights Division. More than 75 percent of its attorneys fled over the past year, accepting buyouts or early retirements rather than serve under her leadership. Over 200 former division attorneys signed an open letter accusing her of destroying an office created by the landmark 1957 Civil Rights Act, legislation enacted to dismantle Jim Crow segregation and protect Black Americans' voting rights.Under Dhillon, the division launched investigations into DEI policies at universities, sued to ban transgender athletes from women's sports, and aggressively pursued voter registration data from dozens of states. She also created a new gun rights section and killed consent decrees with Minneapolis and Louisville police departments despite findings of systemic constitutional abuses.Woodward, meanwhile, has drawn fire from far-right influencer Laura Loomer over his wife's support for progressive causes.The shakeup comes as Trump continues searching for an attorney general willing to pursue his political enemies without constitutional guardrails getting in the way.
