President Trump Cleans House at DOJ, Top Officials Shown the Door

[Conservative Angle]

​

President Trump just fired top brass at the Justice Department.

Gone are Liz Oyer, Bobak Talebian, and Adam Cohen. There’s the door, don’t let it hit you on the way out.

Critics are crying about political interference within the DOJ.

But it’s just more swamp draining.

This is a long-overdue cleanup.

Either way, the DOJ just got a serious shake-up.

Another day, another draining. I love it!

The Guardian reports:

(President) Donald Trump’s administration on Friday fired at least two senior career officials at the US justice department, including the head of the office that handles presidential pardon requests, according to a social media post and sources familiar with the matter.

Liz Oyer served as pardon attorney since 2022, a career justice department position. Oyer was fired “effective immediately,” according to a memo she shared on LinkedIn, which cited Trump’s executive authority under the US constitution.

Oyer, who was appointed by Biden in 2022, posted on LinkedIn: “I’m sad to share that I was fired today from the job I have poured my heart and soul into for the last three years. I am so proud of the team we built in the Office of the Pardon Attorney, who will carry on our important work. I’m very grateful for the many extraordinary people I’ve had the opportunity to connect with on this journey. Thank you for your partnership, your support, and your belief in second chances.”

Oyer’s former office reviews requests for clemency from people convicted of federal offenses and makes recommendations to the White House on whom the president should pardon.

Oyer’s termination comes two weeks after Trump appointed Alice Marie Johnson as “pardon czar”, a role in which she will recommend people for presidential commutations.

Bobak Talebian, the head of the justice department’s Office of Information Policy, which handles public records requests under the US Freedom of Information Act, was also fired, according to a source familiar with the matter.

The moves mark the latest instance of the Trump administration removing or sidelining career justice department officials, who typically keep their positions across presidential administrations.

Their entire system is being dismantled.

The bought-and-owned players in positions of power are getting removed.
