Justice Department Faces Exodus Amid Trump's Return

The Department of Justice is experiencing significant anxiety over the potential return of Donald Trump to the presidency, with many career attorneys considering leaving due to fears of mass firings and political retribution. Trump's previous term saw tensions with the DOJ, and his anger has only intensified following criminal prosecutions against him. The choice of attorney general in a new Trump administration could signal the extent of changes, with some fearing the appointment of extreme loyalists. While some divisions may see little change, others, like the National Security and Civil Rights Divisions, could face significant upheaval.
