Justice Dept. Official Says She Was Fired for Not Letting Mel Gibson Have a Gun


The personal friend of Donald Trump got his rights stripped after being convicted of a domestic-battery misdemeanor.

Her office produced a list of 95 people, she recalls in the Times report, which was then whittled down to nine, and at no point was Gibson on the memo. “Giving guns back to domestic abusers is a serious matter that, in my view, is not something that I could recommend lightly,” she says. She recalls sending an email saying she could not recommend Gibson get his gun rights back, then receiving a phone call from a senior Justice Department official.
