Attorney General Blanche thanked them for their service and contribution to the president’s mission.
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon resigned from her position last week as leader of the Department of Justice’s Civil Division. Dhillon said that the decision was her own and that she had decided weeks before the election.
“I wasn’t asked to resign,” Dhillon said. “I resigned three weeks ago, and [White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles] asked me to please wait until after the midterms.” She said that she had accomplished what she intended to do in Washington and was ready to return to private practice.
“I accepted the resignation of Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon,” Attorney General Todd Blanche stated on Thursday. “She has defended the civil liberties of every American and enforced the law without fear or favor. The Department is grateful for her dedicated public service, and we wish her every success in her future endeavors.”
Assistant Attorney General for the National Security Division John Eisenberg and U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida Jason Reding Quiñones resigned the following day, and Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate of the Civil Division tendered his resignation on Monday
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For wisdom for President Trump as he considers individuals to nominate to the Justice Department and other federal agencies.
- For Attorney General Blanche to be led by the Lord as he heads the Department of Justice.
