Amid a wave of high-level departures from the Department of Justice, a senior political official on Monday warned U.S. attorneys across the country to either get on a “wartime footing” for President Donald Trump’s final two years or consider leaving, according to two people with knowledge of the meeting.
Several have already left since last week’s election, including two officials who — according to two people familiar with departures — were pushed out for not being aggressive enough on President Trump’s priorities. Separate DOJ officials disputed that characterization,, saying those individuals didn’t manage their employees well.
The sources were granted anonymity to discuss internal personnel discussions.
