Josh Stueve, the Senior Communications Advisor at the Department of Justice, resigned on Thursday, citing a “hostile and toxic work environment.”
Stueve worked in this position at the Justice Department for 15 years and served as former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s spokesman.
“While the relentless attacks on federal workers have certainly taken their toll, I remain incredibly proud of my 23 years in public service, including nearly a decade on active duty in the US Marine Corps,” Stueve wrote.
He continued, “Since 2010, I have served as a spokesman for agencies within the Department of Defense and the Department of Justice, and I have witnessed the extraordinary expertise, patriotism, selflessness, and steadfast commitment to mission of public servants throughout the federal service.”
Josh Stueve said the Trump’s election win did not influence his decision to resign before he blasted the leadership of the DOJ.
“I cannot continue to serve in such a hostile and toxic work environment, one where leadership at the highest levels makes clear we are not welcomed or valued, much less trusted to do our jobs,” Josh Stueve wrote in his resignation letter.
