Harmeet Dhillon is preparing to leave her post overseeing the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, becoming the first senior DOJ official to depart following Democrats’ sweeping midterm victories.
Two people familiar with the matter told the Washington Examiner Thursday morning that Dhillon had informed allies she planned to leave after the midterm elections. Attorney General Todd Blanche publicly confirmed she offered her resignation letter in a statement to X Thursday afternoon, thanking her for leading the Civil Rights Division with “conviction” over the past 18 months.
