Harmeet Dhillon resigns from DOJ: Report

Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon resigned on Thursday, Fox News reported, citing "sources."

Her resignation follows major Republican defeats in the House and Senate and amid expected shakeups in personnel at the top levels of the Trump administration.

During her tenure, she oversaw a litany of lawsuits, many of which targeted universities over their admissions practices and policies on antisemitism.

Prior to serving in the DOJ, she mounted an unsuccessful bid in 2022-2023 to lead the Republican National Committee (RNC), but lost out to Ronna McDaniel.
