Harmeet Dhillon
More than 75% of its workforce from the beginning of President Donald Trump ‘s second term had left by the time she resigned, according to AP. Dhillon’s departure also followed a significant turnover among career staff at the Civil Rights Division.
She had held the position since April last year. The social media exchange followed Dhillon’s resignation as head of the Civil Rights Division, which Attorney General Todd Blanche announced on Thursday.
Former US Justice Department official Harmeet Dhillon has hit back at Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal after the Democrat criticised her tenure at the department and made a sarcastic reference to her knitting hobby, telling the lawmaker to stop engaging in personal attacks and focus on her responsibilities as a public servant. “Grow up, Pramila. Bullying and trolling are not really the role of members of Congress. You are a public servant. Act like it,” she wrote.
