Move is latest in series of dismissals as Trump and allies seek retribution against civil servants in the agency

The US attorney general, Pam Bondi, fired the justice department’s top ethics adviser on Friday, the latest in a series of dismissals that comes as Donald Trump and allies have sought retribution against civil servants in the agency.

Joseph Tirrell, who had served as the head of the justice department’s ethics office, since 2023, revealed he had been fired in a post on LinkedIn. He shared Bondi’s letter to him, which misspelled his name and did not give a reason for his termination.

    Good, i didn’t think they approve of people sharing their termination letters.

    There should be a website, where everyone, terminated since Trump took office, can upload their letter. Just to have the mass of terminations and the bleak contents of the letters all in one place.

    Having it all categorized by department, could probably expose the systematic erasure of everyone possibly opposing the King in the future.
