“On Friday afternoon, Liberty University Law School emailed its first and second-year students about an ‘exciting opportunity to intern with the Department of Labor in DC.’ The available positions covered the full breadth of the DOL’s activities …. For second-year students, the internship ‘could lead to a full-time job offer for after your 2027 graduation.’ One important caveat: only passionate devotees of President Trump would be considered. Students who ‘aligned politically with President Trump’ and were ‘willing to work hard’ were strongly encouraged to apply, even if they had poor grades.” (03/04/26)
