Trump Transition Team Warns DOJ Staff Against 'Resistance'

A Trump transition lawyer cautions Justice Department employees about opposing the President-elect's agenda, hinting at potential dismissals.

Mark Paoletta, a key figure in Trump's transition team, emphasized that DOJ employees must align with Trump's agenda or face disciplinary actions.
Paoletta's warning follows concerns from career DOJ attorneys about Trump's second term and its implications for the department.
Trump's administration plans include pardoning January 6 defendants and halting perceived politically motivated prosecutions.
Trump has criticized federal employees for opposing his policies, labeling them as part of a 'deep state' undermining his presidency.
Potential changes include creating 'Schedule F' positions, allowing for easier dismissal of federal employees and replacement with political appointees.
