Ex-DOJ lawyer sues, alleges firing for refusing to restore Mel Gibson's gun rights

Liz Oyer, a former DOJ lawyer, filed suit claiming she was terminated for refusing to recommend restoring Mel Gibson's firearm rights, allegedly told to disregard concerns because Gibson is an acquaintance of President Trump. The suit alleges political interference in DOJ decision-making, raising questions about the independence of the department's pardon and restoration processes. The claim is unverified and the DOJ has not commented.
