Pam Bondi’s Department of Justice is recruiting prosecutors with no experience following a mass exodus of thousands of employees since President Donald Trump took office for the second time.
An estimated 5,500 attorneys and staff members have quit, been fired, or taken buyouts, leaving widespread vacancies across the department, the American Bar Association reported in November.
Two-thirds of the attorneys in the DOJ division tasked with defending Trump’s signature policies have left, Reuters reported in July, while the civil rights division and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minnesota have hemorrhaged prosecutors over the department’s handling of Trump’s mass deportation operation.
