Doge, DOGE, ?
A staffing crisis is unfolding inside the U.S. Department of Justice, which has long relied on its army of attorneys and agents to combat organized crime, child pornographers and terrorists.
A mass exodus of thousands is unfolding inside agency offices and operations. But it’s happening quietly and largely behind closed doors.
In a newly-published report, Justice Connection emphasized, “This is not normal.” The report said, ‘DOJ had 12,955 attorneys as of December 31, 2024. Approximately 3,402 attorneys left their roles between January 2025 and January 2026.”
The turnover includes politically-motivated firings of prosecutors who handled the criminal investigations of President Trump and the successful prosecutions of the hundreds of Trump supporters who attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
The departures also include attorneys who quit or retired, rather than continue working for an agency they view as politicized by Trump appointees. It also includes the wiping out of historic civil rights functions at the agency.
The report from Justice Connection said, “Of the departing attorneys, 2,069 resigned prior to retirement eligibility, meaning many did not have an alternate source of income. These were civil servants faced with such abject disillusionment they had no alternative but to walk away from their passion.”
