— "This final rule honors our 2.2 million career civil servants, helping ensure that people are hired and fired based on merit and that they can carry out their duties based on their expertise and not political loyalty."
If Trump returns to the White House and wants to reverse the new rule, he would need to direct the Office of Personnel Management to draft new rules, which would include seeking public comment on any proposed changes.
Weeks ahead of the 2020 election, Trump issued an executive order known as "Schedule F" that would have reclassified tens of thousands of federal workers into a new Schedule F employment category. The move would have allowed Trump to replace scores of civil servant positions and career posts with hand-picked loyalists. Biden rescinded the executive order after he took office.
The D.C. Bar's three-member board of responsibility panel found Thursday that former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark likely violated at least one ethics rule in his efforts to help former President Trump stay in office after losing the 2020 presidential election. — The Hill — 4 April 2024 (LINK)
— The ruling is preliminary and can be changed, the disciplinary hearing committee made clear Thursday. But after several days of testimony, the panel found that the "disciplinary counsel has proven at least one violation of any of the charged disciplinary rules." Clark is accused of attempting to engage in conduct involving dishonesty and attempting to engage in conduct that "would seriously interfere with the administration of justice". He faces disbarment.
The charges centered largely on a "Proof of Concept" draft letter, which Clark had written in the aftermath of the 2020 election and addressed to Georgia public officials. The letter falsely claimed the Department of Justice "identified significant concerns that may have impacted the outcome of the election in the United States, including the State of Georgia," and called on the state Legislature to reconvene a special session. It contained numerous other false claims.
At the time, Clark sent the letter to top-ranking Justice Department officials Jeffrey Rosen and Richard Donoghue for their signatures. Rosen and Donoghue refused to authorize the letter, saying it contained falsehoods.
