Trump responds to NYT article, says it's 'very good' administration is losing legal talent [View all]
(The Hill) President Trump on Sunday said it is “very good” that thousands of lawyers have chosen to no longer work for the administration, referring to The New York Times’s reporting on the exodus.
The Times story reported that more than 10,000 lawyers working for the federal government have left since the end of 2024 to March 2026. Many of these lawyers are “flocking to the offices of Democratic state attorneys general and nonprofits that are challenging administration policies in the courts, boosting Mr. Trump’s opponents with seasoned lawyers,” the report reads.
Trump wrote on Truth Social that the outlet “wrote a story today entitled, ‘Trump Administration Sees Striking Exodus of Legal Talent,’ as though that’s a bad thing, when actually, it’s very good.”
