flag DOJ faces staffing crisis as thousands leave, raising concerns over nonpartisan integrity.

flag The U.S. Department of Justice is facing a severe staffing crisis under President Trump’s second term, with about 5,500 employees—mostly attorneys—departing through resignations, firings, or buyouts. flag Key units like the Civil Rights Division and those handling Jan. 6 cases have seen massive turnover, and U.S. attorneys’ offices in major cities are severely understaffed. flag Hiring has declined sharply, with top law school graduates avoiding the DOJ, and officials are recruiting retirees to fill gaps. flag Critics allege the administration’s preference for politically aligned candidates is undermining the department’s nonpartisan tradition, though the DOJ has not confirmed such policies.
