President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) terminated a top pardon attorney who claims it was over a gun rights dispute, but she oversaw President Joe Biden’s commutations of violent criminals and pushed for left-wing criminal justice initiatives.

Oyer proceeded to blast the Trump administration in a Rolling Stone opinion piece, asserting she was fired for her decision and accused Trump’s DOJ of “bullying.”
Gibson was convicted of a misdemeanor charge of battering his former girlfriend in 2011, the Times reported. He pleaded no contest.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche sent Oyer a memo informing her of the termination, Oyer said. She claimed she was not informed about why she was fired, but said the notice was delivered shortly after she pushed back against restoring Gibson’s gun rights.
According to a memo posted to her LinkedIn, her firing was “effective immediately.”
