President Joe Biden was to fire Sharon Gustafson, the Trump-appointed general counsel of the EEOC, at 5 p.m. Friday, according to a source with direct knowledge of the situation.
The Biden administration demanded in a March 2 email that Gustafson, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s top litigator, resign, said two different sources who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the matter.
Gustafson refused, citing her term, which runs through 2023, according to a letter she sent Friday to the Biden administration. A copy of the letter was obtained by Bloomberg Law. She was then told by the White House on Friday that she would be fired as of 5 p.m., according to the source with direct knowledge.
Her legal stances religious freedom prompted at least one EEOC attorney to previously voice concern that the agency’s approach in a religious bias lawsuit against Kroger Co. could impinge on the rights of LGBT workers. Gustafson had argued the lawsuit wouldn’t clear the way for religious justification of other forms of discrimination.
