| 'Things have changed': DOJ staff run for exits as Trump crumbles Bloomberg Law reports political appointees across the Justice Department are scrambling for exits due to fears that their associations with a Trump agenda that voters resoundingly rejected will 'tank their careers,' said current and former Trump DOJ officials. 'There are people who realized things have fundamentally changed in the country, and if that's the direction the president wants to go, they're not as aligned anymore -- partly because that's not the direction America is going and also because they need to work,' said one former Trump DOJ official, describing discussions with multiple current appointees. |
