The Democratic leaders of the House of Representatives are asking the Department of Justice with an explanation of the “farewell and involuntary reassignment” of the employees of the Department of Justice of the career who worked for former special lawyer Jack Smith.
In a letter from the highest -ranking democratic members of the Judiciary of the Chamber and the House of Representatives, representatives Jamie Raskin and Gerald Connolly affirm that the way in which the employees were fired were carried out “without taking into account their demonstrated powers “and” very probably violated federal laws of long data. “
The election of President Trump to direct the Department of Justice, PAM Bondi, has not yet been confirmed; However, interim attorney general James Mchenry dismissed around a dozen employees of the Department of Justice who worked for Blacksmith about the investigation and prosecution of President Trump on Monday.
The Democrats also criticized the leadership of the Department of Justice for terminating employment offers to summer interns and entry level lawyers and accused the leadership of the department to make White House staff kill the social media profiles of employees of the department to “determine your personal political inclinations.”
“Taken together, their actions raise a significant concern that it is determined to fill the ranks of the Department of Justice and the FBI with career employees selected by personal loyalty or political services that have lent to President Trump,” wrote the congressmen , demanding details about why those who have been fired or reassigned were chosen.
A justice department official told CBS News that Mchenry had decided to say goodbye to these officials because “he did not believe that these officials could be trusted to faithfully implement the president’s agenda due to his important role in the president’s prosecution.”
Other officials who have not been dismissed have been involuntarily reassigned, sources told CBS News, resulting in at least one resignation by a higher career in the department.
