End and recall all nonessential DOJ personnel details

Printed page 569 17. Department of Justice

“End all nonessential details of department personnel—particularly those detailed to congressional offices—until the department can conduct a thorough review of its personnel needs. … the next conservative Administration should terminate and recall all details of DOJ personnel shortly after the President’s inauguration.”

What has happened

  1. Not started

    No termination or recall of department personnel details has been announced. Searched the Federal Register Corpus for every Justice Department rule, proposed rule and notice in the window, the whitehouse.gov presidential-actions Corpus, the congress.gov bills and nominations Corpus, and all 2,087 headquarters press releases fetched from the department's own press API for the window. Nothing addresses details to congressional offices or elsewhere. The one personnel instruction the Attorney General issued in the opening week was the return to full-time in-person work at the department, which is a different subject.

    No action found yet. This entry is the starting point, not a finding.
