- Will Rosenzweig, a federal prosecutor, sued the Justice Department after being fired last year over years‑old blog posts critical of Donald Trump, saying the termination violated his First Amendment rights and seeking reinstatement and back pay.
- The firing came less than three hours after a conservative commentator publicized his defunct blog and LinkedIn info—roughly two weeks before a major Medicare fraud trial and while Rosenzweig was observing Rosh Hashana.
- The complaint says Rosenzweig was a highly respected, award‑winning prosecutor who recovered millions for taxpayers and frames the dismissal as part of a wider DOJ personnel purge tied to political loyalty; the department declined to comment.
