Harmeet Dhillon plans to step down from her role leading the Justice Department’s civil rights unit, marking the first senior DOJ official to resign following Democrats’ massive midterm wins.
Harmeet Dhillon is stepping down as head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division after nearly 19 months in the role.
She says she actually made the decision three weeks ago, but White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles asked her to wait until after the midterm elections, Fox reports.
Harmeet Dhillon plans to step down as head of the Justice Department's (DOJ) Civil Rights Division, Bloomberg Law reports, citing four people familiar. They say she told allies she would leave after the midterms, and two say her announcement could come as soon as today.
She would be the first senior DOJ official to resign since Democrats’ midterm wins, Bloomberg says, and former officials told it the department is bracing for other top political appointees to leave before the new year.
Under Dhillon the division has focused on religious liberty and created a Second Amendment section. In August she told Bloomberg she planned to return to her California law firm after DOJ.
