  • Attorney General Merrick Garland and other top officials are urging career staffers to stay at the Justice Department during a second Trump administration.

The article from MSN discusses concerns within the Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding the potential return of Donald Trump to the presidency. There is a growing call for career DOJ staff to remain in their positions to ensure the department's independence and integrity. This comes in light of Trump's previous tenure, where he was known to exert influence over the DOJ, leading to significant staff turnover and perceived politicization. Current and former DOJ officials, including those from both Democratic and Republican administrations, are urging career employees to stay, emphasizing the importance of their role in maintaining the rule of law and the DOJ's apolitical stance. The article highlights the tension between political appointees and career staff, with fears that Trump might again attempt to use the DOJ for personal or political vendettas if re-elected.
