Fired pardon attorney sues DOJ over Gibson gun-rights case
x/donald-john-trump
— Sep 3, 2026
Liz Oyer, the former Justice Department pardon attorney, filed a federal lawsuit alleging she was unlawfully fired in March 2025 after refusing to advocate for restoring Mel Gibson’s gun rights, amid pressure from officials tied to President Trump. She argues the termination violated civil service protections and First Amendment rights and seeks reinstatement, while DOJ and White House officials have not provided a substantive response to her claims.
