Trump hiring freeze prompts DOJ to pull job offers in AG's honors program: report
Fox News ^ | 1/24/25 | Diana Stancy

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"Pursuant to the hiring freeze announced Jan. 20, 2025, your job offer has been revoked," said the email," according to an email the Post obtained.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.

I wonder if the IRS is going to auction those 87,000 bean counter pistols.

“...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.......”

Weren’t many of the “top law schools” the woke schools that supported the Palestinians and had many of their alumni cancel donations?

If so, this is a good thing.

From what I’ve gathered, they could have a sale on ammo as well.

General’s Honors Program is a grooming mechanism where group think is a priority. Nuke that crap please, festers bureaucracy or “Deep State” what people call that now.

Been doing it since 1953 ? Is it a valuable program ?
It’s a freeze for a limited period of time.
They could have put the offers on hold and get back to it when the freeze is thawed.

Getting rid of any post WWII Federal grooming program would be a positive because the Frankfurt “Marxist asylum seekers’” strategy pretty much corrupted every post WWII Federal agency and then went on messing up universities starting with Columbia. Unfortunately, way too late to nuke the actual agencies were you can’t fire at will the careerists protected b they adjudication process.

These folks, who have an offer, were vetted by the last administration, so it makes sense to review these offers.

Not sure why they are rescinding the offers. They are being reviewed during the 90 day freeze. If it were me, 3 months to do what I want.

Typical libtards......they overreact, then cry for the cameras.

“graduating law students or recent law school graduates from top law schools such as Harvard, Duke, Georgetown, Stanford and the University of Virginia.”

They’d be woke and counterproductive, anyway, so good.

I heard there was this type of pipeline, for the purpose of having LEFTIST domination of DOJ, just surprised that they had gotten away with it so long (past Ike and every Republican since).

Likely kept it under the radar, probably not too smart of them to complain to Fox News about it, since Trump 2.0 will now know what’s going on.

The elite law schools tend to be leftists lacking common sense. Trump needs to focus hiring on people with common sense. Start interviewing people to get an idea of their values, not which school granted their degrees.
