Attorney Gen.-elect Jason Miyares notified about 30 staff members in the office - 17 of them attorneys - that they won’t have jobs in his administration.
Miyares, a Republican, will be sworn in on Saturday to replace Democratic Attorney General Mark Herring, whom Miyares defeated in the November election.
Miyares spokeswoman Victoria LaCivita said the 30 staff members were told Friday that Miyares would be moving in a different direction.
“During the campaign, it was made clear that now Attorney General-elect Miyares and Attorney General Herring have very different visions for the office,” she said by email for this story. “We are restructuring the office, as every incoming AG has done in the past.”
She declined to provide the breakdown of which divisions the attorneys work in, saying it was multiple divisions across the office.
