Lawyer DOJ refused to let the Director of the Acting OMP testify about the mass shooting

The Trump government can be approved by the federal judge this weekend after the lawyer at the Department of Justice tells the federal judge on Tuesday night that they will not make high administrative officials available for sworn testimony.

US District Judge Charles Alsup has tried to have an Acting Head of the Personnel Management Office (OPM), Charles Ezell, testified on Thursday regarding the mass shooting of experimental employees.

But Doj said on Tuesday that they would not make Ezell available for testimony.

By making Ezell not available, DOJ’s lawyer also withdrew his written statement, a step suggested by Judge Charles Alsup will greatly increase the possibility that the Trump government loses this case, which involves the legality of firing thousands of experimental employees.

“Direct testimony of Mr. Ezell is also unnecessary, as a factual problem, because the documentary evidence and the existing briefing show that OPM does not direct the institution to end the experimental employees,” said DOJ lawyer.

A group of federal unions accused that Ezell lied in the declaration of swearing that his office did not order the shooting of experimental employees based on “performance or violation,” encouraging Judge Alsup to order Ezell to testify directly and under oaths in San Francisco on Thursday.

Trump’s government is trying to push back on the command – with the reason in submitting Monday that testimony raises “fundamental constitutional problems.”

Judge Alsup on Monday night refused their request to cancel the trial.

“The problem here is that Acting Director Ezell submitted a declaration to swear to support the defendant’s position but now refused to be seen by being examined or overthrown,” Hakim Alsup wrote in an order Monday night.

The plaintiff accused that on February 13, Ezell made a telephone call with the head of the federal institution to direct them to end thousands of federal employees and “wrongly stated that termination of employment was due to performance reasons.”

In the declaration of the oath last month, Ezell denied directing the termination of employment based on performance reasons, instead of arguing that OPM only issued guidance to individual institutions about the need for experimental workers to “show why the public interest” for the government to continue to hire them.

“OPM does not direct the institution to end certain probation employees based on performance or violation, and does not make a ‘mass termination program,’ as explained by the Plaintiff in this case,” Ezell wrote.

The groups that challenged the dismissal in the court said that it was a lie, and the Alsup judge seemed to be agreeing during the trial hearing last month.

“How can a lot of amputated workforce suddenly last night? Very irregular and so broad and so deviant from the history of our country,” Hakim Alsup said. “How can it all happen with each agent deciding to do something very bad?”

“I don’t believe it,” the judge said. “I believe they are directed or ordered to do it by OPM in the telephone call. That is the proof of showing.”

The accusation of mass shooting came when the Trump government faced an increase in supervision of the role of the government’s efficiency department in reducing the size of the federal government. During the cabinet meeting last week, Trump told the heads of federal institutions that they were tasked with cutting to their own departments, rather than Elon Musk and Doge.
