Trump fired the pardoning Minister of Justice of the United States


The administration of US President Donald Trump has ordered the dismissal of Elizabeth Oyer, the head of the Department of Justice, who was responsible for presidential pardons. This was reported on March 7 by the Reuters news agency.
"The administration of President Donald Trump on Friday dismissed the head of the office of the US Department of Justice, which deals with presidential requests for clemency," the agency reports with reference to Oyer's post on the Linkedin social network (blocked in the Russian Federation).
The official has been working as a pardon lawyer since 2022. It is reported that, according to the order, she was dismissed "immediately."
