DOJ Official Ousted After Refusing To Recommend Mel Gibson's Gun Rights Be Restored
Source: Mediaite
The pardon attorney for the Department of Justice was dismissed one day after she refused to recommend gun rights be restored to Mel Gibson after he pleaded guilty to a domestic violence charge.
In an interview with The New York Times published on Monday, Elizabeth Oyer said she was not given a reason for her termination, but that it came on the heels of her decision regarding the actor, who pleaded guilty in 2011 to misdemeanor battery of his ex-girlfriend.

They sent it back to me saying, We would like you to add Mel Gibson to this memo, she stated. A letter from Gibsons lawyer seeking the restoration of the actors gun rights was attached. Oyer refused, and soon received a phone call from an official in Blanches office.
He then essentially explained to me that Mel Gibson has a personal relationship with President Trump and that should be sufficient basis for me to make a recommendation and that I would be wise to make the recommendation, she said. The next day, Oyer showed up at work and received a letter informing her of her termination.
