YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Help us cover the political revolution

"People familiar with the matter told The New York Times that the Office for Access to Justice has seen its staff leave the office over the past few months and its acting director, Maha Jweied, step down from the department.

Career Justice Department employees told the Times that new administrations often change or end projects begun by previous administrations in order to reallocate resources to their own priorities. Attorney General Jeff Sessions can’t officially close the office without informing Congress, but can reallocate its resources to other divisions.

The office, which began in 2010 under former Attorney General Eric Holder, was dedicated to improving the accessibility of legal aid for the poor and needy in civil and criminal courts."
