The Department of Justice is rescinding job offers for the Attorney General’s Honors Program amid President Donald Trump’s federal hiring freeze, according to a new report.
The Attorney General’s Honors Program, established in 1953, hires graduating law students or recent law school graduates from top law schools such as Harvard, Duke, Georgetown, Stanford and the University of Virginia.
But the Department of Justice notified those who had been selected for the program, which serves as a pipeline to recruit top legal talent into the public sector, that their offers were being revoked, several people familiar with the decision told the Washington Post.
The Department’s Office of Attorney Recruitment and Management distributed an email to those affected via email on Wednesday.
"Pursuant to the hiring freeze announced Jan. 20, 2025, your job offer has been revoked," said the email," according to an email the Post obtained.
Those familiar with the program said it may take on more than 100 lawyers annually, with recent hires assigned to the antitrust, national security, criminal and other divisions.
They told the Post that the program is critical in recruiting new top talent to the Justice Department in order to replace outgoing legal talent. The two-year program places young attorneys on a career path to stay at the Department once the program concludes.

Good. Time for a 1953 program to be put under the microscope to see if it actually serves any useful purpose anymore. The lawyers they been hiring seem to be mostly DEI trash more interested in being political activists then doing their paid jobs.
Good. They likely need better education if they went to law school. We don’t need more brainwashed clowns in DC.
We do not want recent graduates of law school anywhere near policy.
There should hopefully be some job openings in the present positions already filled soon. Clean the place out.
