Attorney General Pam Bondi fired another Department of Justice paralegal on Friday after the environmental division employee flipped off a National Guard member on her way to work.
The fired staffer, Elizabeth Baxter, works in the same building as fellow fired paralegal Sean Charles Dunn, who was seen in a video earlier this month allegedly throwing a Subway salami sandwich at a Border Protection officer, The New York Post reported.
Baxter arrived for work at the DOJ’s “4CON” building in the NoMa district of Washington, DC, at 8:21 a.m. on Aug. 18 and told a DOJ security guard that she had just made the obscene gesture to a guardsman at Metro Center and said, “F—k the National Guard,” according to Bondi.
At 12:18 p.m. the same day, Baxter was seen on DOJ cameras putting up her middle finger toward the National Guard and saying, “F—k you!”
One week later, on Aug. 25, she again told a DOJ security guard that she hated the National Guard and told them to “F—k off!”
“Today, I took action to terminate a DOJ employee for inappropriate conduct towards National Guard service members in DC,” Bondi told The Post.

“This DOJ remains committed to defending President Trump’s agenda and fighting to make America safe again. If you oppose our mission and disrespect law enforcement, you will NO LONGER work at DOJ.”
Baxter was also caught on DOJ security footage demonstrating to a DOJ security guard how she gestured at the guardsman, according to a photo obtained by The Post.
After an investigation involving multiple witnesses, Bondi issued Baxter a termination letter Friday evening that said, “You are removed from your position of Paralegal Specialist, GS-0950-11, Environmental Defense Section, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and from the federal service, effective immediately.”
The incident followed new charges against Dunn, 37, over the Aug. 10 Subway incident in DC’s U Street nightlife area.
Dunn, who worked in the criminal division’s international affairs section in the 4CON building, was arrested after shouting abuse at federal officers deployed to the capital by President Trump and heaving his sandwich at an officer.
“F—k you! You f—king fascists! Why are you here? I don’t want you in my city!” Dunn allegedly shouted before throwing the food.
“This is an example of the Deep State we have been up against for seven months as we work to refocus DOJ,” Bondi tweeted after firing Dunn.
“You will NOT work in this administration while disrespecting our government and law enforcement.”
After a grand jury failed to indict Dunn on felony assault charges, prosecutors charged him with misdemeanor assault, which carries up to one year in jail.
The Justice Department has announced the successful conclusion of Operation Grayskull, a wide-ranging joint investigation with the FBI that led to the takedown of four dark web platforms dedicated to child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
The operation has already secured 18 convictions across multiple federal jurisdictions, with substantial prison sentences handed down to individuals involved in the distribution and promotion of CSAM.
One of the most significant sentences was handed down last week, when 52-year-old Thomas Peter Katsampes of Eagan, Minnesota, was sentenced to 250 months in prison, a lifetime of supervised release, and ordered to pay $23,000 in restitution. Katsampes pleaded guilty in February to conspiracy to advertise and distribute child pornography.

Court records reveal that he joined one of the dark web sites in 2022, where he actively promoted and distributed CSAM—including material involving prepubescent children—and later assumed a moderator role, enforcing site rules and instructing others on how to share illegal content, the outlet said, citing DOJ records.
“These offenders thought that they could act without consequences, but they were wrong,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Matthew R. Galeotti of the DOJ’s Criminal Division. “Thanks to the relentless determination of our prosecutors and law enforcement partners, we have exposed these perpetrators, eliminated their websites, and brought justice to countless victims.”
