White House is expected to shake up more leadership roles at Justice Department, sources say
Senior officials are weighing a promotion for Harmeet Dhillon and a demotion for Stanley Woodward as Trump reshapes Justice Department leadership.
- Multiple reports indicate the Trump administration is considering promoting Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon to Associate Attorney General, following the reported resignation of Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward on Saturday.
- President Donald Trump removed Attorney General Pam Bondi earlier last week, citing frustration over the department's insufficient pursuit of criminal prosecutions against his political opponents.
- Since her 2025 appointment, Dhillon has reshaped the Civil Rights Division by prioritizing election integrity and DEI investigations; more than 75% of division attorneys departed during her tenure, according to reports.
- Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche currently serves as acting attorney general, with the administration indicating no immediate plans to nominate a permanent successor to Bondi.
- The Department of Justice is reportedly undergoing a transformation to consolidate a more loyal and aggressive leadership team, potentially accelerating the administration's legal strategy on election integrity and constitutional matters.
