A top U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) official suggested on Feb. 19 that DOJ employees are welcome to leave if their views diverge from those of the current department leaders.

“For those at the Department who are with me in those battles and understand that there are no separate sovereigns in this Executive Branch, we’re going to do great things to make America safe again,” acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove said in a statement to news outlets. “For those who do not support our critical mission, I understand there are templates for resignation letters available on the websites of the New York Times and CNN.”
