Three career Justice Department officials—described as “exemplary” public servants—have sued Attorney General Pam Bondi and the U.S. government, alleging they were abruptly and unlawfully fired after working on the Jan. 6 prosecutions.
The lawsuit, filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by plaintiffs Michael M. Gordon, Patricia A. Hartman, and Joseph W. Tirrell, claims their dismissals violated federal law, the Constitution, and long-standing protections designed to prevent civil servants
The three litigants were all fired “without cause, justification, or due process” on the same day earlier this summer via a one-page document “signed by Attorney General Pamela Bondi,” according to the suit, which cited only “Article II of the United States Constitution and the laws of the United States.”
