Attorney General Pam Bondi fired the Department of Justice‘s top ethics adviser on Friday as part of broader government layoffs.

Joseph Tirrell, the DOJ’s ethics director, posted Bondi’s letter announcing his firing on LinkedIn on Monday. In it, Bondi said he was being terminated from his position effective immediately with no further explanation. Notably, his name was misspelled as “JOSPEH.” He had served in the position since July 2023 and advised Bondi and other officials regarding how to avoid and deal with conflicts of interest.
