DOJ Official Ousted After Refusing To Recommend Mel Gibson’s Gun Rights Be Restored
"The pardon attorney for the Department of Justice was dismissed one day after she refused to recommend gun rights be restored to Mel Gibson after he pleaded guilty to a domestic violence charge.
In an interview with The New York Times published on Monday, Elizabeth Oyer said she was not given a reason for her termination, but that it came on the heels of her decision regarding the actor, who pleaded guilty in 2011 to misdemeanor battery of his ex-girlfriend.
“This is dangerous. This isn’t political — this is a safety issue,” she told the Times. Oyer was one of several DOJ officials to be let go on Friday as President Donald Trump has sought to fill key government positions with loyalists."
