Harmeet Dhillon, DOJ's controversial civil rights chief, resigns
Harmeet Dhillon, the assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division, resigned from the Justice Department on Thursday.
What the coverage shows
All eight outlets lead on Dhillon’s resignation from the Justice Department civil rights post, and most describe her as controversial or divisive. Fox News alone says she resigned after the White House asked her to wait until after the midterms, while the New York Times alone foregrounds reported conflicts with Justice Department leaders over midterm legal strategy. The Guardian, The Independent and Al Jazeera connect the departure to the midterms, but in different ways, with The Guardian calling her the first high-level justice official to leave after the Republican defeat.
