A spokeswoman for Virginia’s new Attorney General Jason Miyares has denied reports that Miyares fired all staff members of the civil rights division within hours of taking office last week.
Miyares was sworn in on Jan. 15, and quickly announced a string of investigations into the Virginia Parole Board and Loudoun County Public Schools, stating that “Virginians deserve answers,” transparency, and accountability in the wake of what he described as scandals and their “horrific aftermath.”
