The US attorney general, William Barr, has reportedly removed the head of a section of the justice department entrusted with ensuring the legality of federal counterterrorism and counterintelligence activities.

The removal of deputy assistant attorney general Brad Wiegmann, first reported by ABC News, has not been explained, but it comes amid rising Democratic concerns that Barr and his justice department will seek to influence the conduct of the November elections in Donald Trump’s favour.

Wiegmann, 54, a 23-year public service veteran, ran the office of law and policy in the national security section of the justice department, until he was reassigned two weeks ago.

 

He is being replaced by a 36-year old cyber-crimes prosecutor, Kellen Dwyer with very little relevant experience, whose name made the news in November 2018 when he accidentally revealed that the US had charged Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange.

Its just so much work...can we just go ahead and say Trump won? I feel bad for all the extra work theyre having to put in to get this done..

specially since the Democrats dont take any sort of real stand against it.. (i know its harder when you have to follow the rules to fix something someone just does without regards to rules)
