A Whistleblower Says Trump Sent the US Marshals to Try to “Intimidate” Her
By Samantha Michaels
A whistleblower who testified in Congress today is accusing the Trump administration of trying to “intimidate” her with help from the US Marshals Service, the law enforcement agency of the federal judiciary.
Liz Oyer, the former US pardon attorney who was fired last month, says Justice Department leaders dispatched two special deputy marshals to her house on Friday
night—days before she was scheduled to speak with lawmakers about her concerns
with the firing of career employees and what she describes as “corruption” at
the department. “You appear to be using the Department’s security resources to
intimidate a former employee who is engaged in statutorily protected whistleblower conduct,” Oyer’s attorney Michael Bromwich, a former Department of
Justice inspector general, wrote in a letter to Justice Department leadership on
Monday. He said dispatching special deputy marshals to Oyer’s home was “both
unprecedented and completely inappropriate.”
As I reported earlier today, this is not the first time US marshals have acted in strange ways since President Donald Trump came to office. In a deep-dive, I looked at how the law enforcement agency has been recruited recently to help Elon Musk, Trump’s right-hand man. Since January, the US Marshals Service has deputized members of Musk’s private security detail, helped his Department of Government Efficiency get inside a federal agency it was trying to dismantle, and even prodded federal judges to move more quickly on Jan. 6 cases.
