FBI and Justice Department ease hiring requirements after widespread departures
The FBI and Justice Department are implementing relaxed hiring standards and accelerated recruitment to rebuild their workforce after extensive resignations and firings over the past year. Changes include social media recruitment campaigns, abbreviated training for federal agency transfers, and hiring law school graduates directly into prosecutor roles. The moves come after departures prompted by concerns over Trump administration politicization and loyalty-based firings.
