A fired national security prosecutor, Michael Ben'Ary, accused Justice Department leaders of "making American citizens less safe" in a letter posted on his office door. He claims his termination, based on a social media post, and the removal of experienced officials undermine national security and counter-terrorism efforts. Ben'Ary alleges political interference and a focus on punishing perceived enemies over protecting citizens, potentially jeopardizing ongoing cases like the Abbey Gate bombing investigation.
