Bondi Fires Ethics Advisor: No Surprise Amidst Trump Investigations
Joseph Tirrell, the head of the justice department’s ethics office, was fired on Friday by Attorney General Pam Bondi, with the termination letter lacking a reason for dismissal. Tirrell, who oversaw a team ensuring ethical guidelines were followed, was responsible for reviewing financial disclosures of top officials. The firing is part of a series of dismissals targeting civil servants, coinciding with actions against those connected to the investigation into Donald Trump. It is unclear if the dismissal is related to the January 6-related terminations, though Tirrell had previously signed off on legal services provided to Jack Smith.
