The Trump administration is gutting a division at the Department of Justice that oversees prosecutions of public officials accused of corruption.
Only a small number of employees at the Public Integrity Section, which oversees some of the country’s most high-profile and sensitive prosecutions, will remain as prosecutors are being ordered to take other roles within the department. Cases currently assigned to the unit will be reassigned to U.S. attorneys’ offices across the country.
