Attorney General Pam Bondi has fired a Department of Justice paralegal whom she says bragged about flicking off a National Guard member on her way to work earlier this month.
The fired employee, Elizabeth Baxter, is accused of telling a DOJ building’s security guard that she made the gesture to the soldier—who was patrolling a Washington, D.C. train station on the orders of President Donald Trump, who declared a crime emergency for the nation’s capital on a whim—and said, “F--k the National Guard.”
“Today, I took action to terminate a DOJ employee for inappropriate conduct towards National Guard service members in DC,” Bondi posted to X on Friday. “If you oppose our mission and disrespect law enforcement—you will NO LONGER work at DOJ.”
