The top civil rights enforcer at the DOJ resigned Thursday following more than a year of criticism that his office filled its ranks with conservative loyalists instead of experienced attorneys. Assistant AG Wan J. Kim was the first immigrant and first Korean-American to head the department's civil rights division. Kim is the latest senior DOJ official to leave amid a scathing congressional investigation that has raised questions about the department's political independence from the White House.
