In an Aug. 30 memo, Attorney General Merrick Garland writes that he's ending the long-standing policy of allowing political appointees to attend partisan political events events.
Attorney General Merrick Garland has set new restrictions on the political activities of some Justice Department employees.
Political appointees — those workers who are hired by a presidential administration and are not building their careers in the department — are essentially barred from attending partisan political events such as fundraisers and rallies. He added that from now on, appointees will be barred from attending political events during presidential election years, even if the event is for a family member, and they cannot attend political events on the evening of Election Day in a personal capacity.
