Leaked email reveals hiring priorities for Trump agency
Liberty University Law School sent an internal email to students advertising Department of Labor internships in Washington, explicitly stating that political alignment with Trump and the administration was more important than academic credentials. Associate director Derek Green wrote that GPA was "not a strong factor" and encouraged students not to worry about transcript requirements if they met the two essential criteria: Trump loyalty and willingness to work hard. Applicants would face political screening questions, including "Did you vote for President Trump?" and "Do you disagree with the President on anything?" The Department of Labor representative described the positions as "political" where interns would "serve the Trump Administration." Legal analyst Judd Legum noted this suggests treating internships as Schedule C positions, which the Supreme Court ruled can only be conditioned on political beliefs in specific policy roles.
