Biden Administration Uses Schedule A Hiring for DOJ

Former President Donald Trump has accused the Justice Department of 'election interference' following a superseding indictment against him, which includes multiple felony counts related to the 2020 election. Trump claims the timing of the indictment, just before mail-in voting begins in North Carolina, violates DOJ policy intended to prevent influencing elections. Concurrently, the Biden-Harris administration is reportedly using a less-known hiring authority to appoint hundreds of lawyers and judges to the DOJ, a move critics argue aims to 'Trump-proof' the department before the 2024 election. Attorney General Merrick Garland has warned against any attempts to interfere with the upcoming election results, highlighting the DOJ's commitment to prosecuting those involved in such actions, similar to the January 6 prosecutions. These developments reflect the heightened tensions surrounding the upcoming election and the differing narratives from both political sides regarding the integrity of the electoral process. As the election approaches, concerns about the politicization of the DOJ and election integrity continue to dominate discussions.
