White House is expected to shake up more leadership roles at Justice Department, sources say

Key Points:

• President Trump is expected to make leadership changes at the Justice Department, potentially promoting Harmeet Dhillon, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division, while demoting Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward.
• Trump recently removed Attorney General Pam Bondi due to dissatisfaction with her handling of criminal charges against his political opponents, and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche was named acting attorney general.
• Stanley Woodward, who has represented several Trump allies and figures connected to the January 6 Capitol attack, has faced criticism from some Trump supporters, partly due to his wife's progressive activism.
• Under Dhillon's leadership, the Civil Rights Division has seen significant staff departures and a shift in focus toward conservative priorities, including investigations of diversity policies and lawsuits against transgender athletes in sports.
• Dhillon's tenure has been controversial, with over 200 former Civil Rights Division attorneys accusing her of undermining the division's historic mission to combat racial discrimination and protect voting rights.
