Attorney General Pam Bondi terminated the head of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ’s) ethics division, according to a letter posted to social media by the fired official.
On Monday, former DOJ ethics division director Joseph Tirrell said in a post on LinkedIn that he had been fired and included a copy of the dismissal letter signed by Bondi. The letter said that it’s an “official notice” showing that he was removed from his position as director of the Departmental Ethics Office, a move that it said was “effective immediately” on July 11.
