Overview
Senator Eric Schmitt has urged President-elect Trump to dismiss Justice Department employees involved in ongoing cases against him, citing potential politicization linked to AG nominee Pam Bondi. Concerns escalate as Trump's nominee for deputy AG, Todd Blanche, faces skepticism over his ability to protect DOJ independence.

The dynamic raises questions about the agency's impartiality in light of expected reforms under the incoming administration.
