Americas3 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported48m ago
Federal prosecutor Will Rosenzweig filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice on Friday, alleging that his termination last year violated his First Amendment rights. Rosenzweig contends he was fired due to critical comments he authored regarding President Donald Trump while acting as a private citizen.
At the time of his dismissal, Rosenzweig was preparing to prosecute a multimillion-dollar Medicare fraud case. The litigation centers on the legal protections afforded to federal employees expressing personal political opinions outside of their official duties.
