The Justice Department's former pardon attorney alleges that she was recently fired from her post due to her refusal to reinstate gun ownership rights of actor, director and Trump ally Mel Gibson.

A Justice Department attorney details how she was fired, one day after refusing to go along with a request from her bosses to recommend that Gibson’s gun rights be restored.

Elizabeth G. Oyer, who began working for the DOJ as a pardon attorney in 2022, said in an interview with the New York Times that she was dismissed from her job shortly after she refused to add the Braveheart actor's name to a list of candidates who may soon have their gun rights restored.
