Trump’s DOJ fired Adam Cohen, the head of the department’s drug trafficking and organized crime unit, in a brutal two-sentence memo.
“The Justice Department on Thursday sent out a memo referencing Cohen’s task force, saying it would combine the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces with the Project Safe Neighborhoods Program. Together, the new entity would be called Operation Take Back America,” The Hill reported.
Adam Cohen said “it was a shock” to receive a two-sentence memo informing him that he had been terminated.
The memo was reportedly signed last week by Acting DAG Emil Bove.
“Less than 24 hours ago, I received a two-sentence memorandum addressed to me from the Deputy Attorney General (DAG). It stated that I had been removed from my Senior Executive Service position and that pursuant to Article II of the Constitution, my employment with the U.S. Department of Justice was terminated,” Adam Cohen wrote on LinkedIn.
