Bradley Weinsheimer, the U.S. Justice Department's senior ethics official, resigned after being reassigned to a working group focused on sanctuary cities amid a wider trend of career officials leaving the department. This comes as several officials have voiced objections to the ongoing politicization of Justice Department investigations, particularly in light of recent orders to drop serious corruption charges against a prominent New York City official. Weinsheimer, a veteran with 34 years in the department, had previously provided ethics guidance on conflicts of interest and attorney misconduct.
"Bradley Weinsheimer, a senior ethics official at the U.S. Justice Department, resigned after being reassigned to a new working group by the Trump administration."
"His decision to resign follows a trend of nonpolitical career officials leaving the Justice Department amid growing pressures to politicize investigations."
