Department of Justice faces a series of layoffs

U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche accepted the resignations of several high-ranking officials, including Harmeet Dhillon, who led the Civil Rights Division. Dhillon's resignation follows her involvement in unsuccessful attempts to obtain voter lists from various states. Additionally, John Eisenberg and Jason Reding Quinones also resigned, with Quinones overseeing an investigation into alleged conspiracies against Donald Trump. These changes come amid ongoing tensions and dismissals of prosecutors seen as not aligning with Trump's agenda since his return to the presidency in 2025.
