Harmeet Dhillon Tells Tucker Carlson That DOJ Lawyers Had ‘Crying Sessions’ After Trump’s 2024 Win

  • Harmeet Dhillon, the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, told Tucker Carlson on Wednesday that DOJ lawyers held crying sessions after Trump won the 2024 election.
  • Dhillon noted that following Trump's re-election and his December 2024 selection to head the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, there was a significant wave of resignations and strong emotional responses among the division’s career attorneys.
  • From January to May 2025, about 250 attorneys—constituting nearly three-quarters of the staff in the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division—resigned in protest of Trump’s policies opposing anti-discrimination and diversity efforts.
  • Dhillon described groups of 30-, 40-, and 50-year-old career attorneys holding emotional gatherings to show solidarity, with one witness reporting they left the building lined up in a phalanx.
  • Following these events, Dhillon’s division launched investigations into anti-Christian bias and alleged racial discrimination in hiring, reflecting efforts to realign DOJ civil rights policies with the Trump administration.
