Whistleblower alleges Trump DOJ pushed Ivy League anti-Semitism settlements without legal basis

Former DOJ Civil Rights Division lawyer Haley Van Erem filed a whistleblower complaint, first reported by the AP, alleging Trump's Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism pursued multimillion-dollar settlements with Harvard, Brown, and Columbia despite investigations finding no legal wrongdoing. The complaint also claims political appointees overruled career investigators and targeted Muslim professors. The DOJ denied the allegations.
