ABC News reports that Harmeet Dhillon, a longtime Trump ally who led the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, has resigned, becoming the first high-ranking Trump ally to leave after the midterms; Attorney General Todd Blanche announced he accepted her resignation and praised her service, while sources say her exit was long expected after Trump's private frustrations over court losses, and NAACP counsel Kristen Clarke accused her of abdicating civil rights enforcement. The article also cites her record rolling back police consent agreements, probes of elite universities, failed voter-roll lawsuits, and a reported 75% exodus of division attorneys.
