Biden-Harris administration uses Schedule A for hiring in DOJ divisions, part of "Trump-proofing" strategy.

Biden-Harris administration reportedly uses Schedule A, a hiring mechanism for disabled individuals, to fill key DOJ divisions, such as ENRD and Antitrust & Immigration Review, ahead of the 2024 election. This authority allows non-merit-based appointments that continue past a president's term. The move is one aspect of the administration's "Trump-proofing" strategy for the federal government.
