Pam Bondi dismissed Justice Department whistleblower Erez Reuveni as a leaker, claiming he is not a legitimate whistleblower. Reuveni alleged that a senior DOJ official suggested disregarding court orders on migrant deportations. In a New York Times interview, he criticized the department for undermining the rule of law. Bondi countered, stating that no one was asked to defy court orders and accused Reuveni of seeking fame by timing his claims before a confirmation hearing. Furthermore, she noted Reuveni's prior support of DOJ positions and implied ethical breaches led to his dismissal.
Bondi claimed Reuveni is not a legitimate whistleblower, but a leaker making false claims, and that his accusations arose after being fired for ethical violations.
Reuveni expressed concerns that the DOJ is disregarding court orders, placing attorneys in a difficult position between the president's agenda and their legal duties.
