Virginia’s new Republican attorney general Jason S. Miyares is already making an impact.
He fired Tim Heaphy, the counsel for the University of Virginia who is currently working as the top investigator for the sham Jan 6th committee.
Virginia’s new Republican attorney general has fired University of Virginia’s counsel, who was on leave from the job to work as the top investigator for U.S. House of Representatives panel investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol, the attorney and university said
Tim Heaphy, who had worked at the state’s flagship university for about three years, was among roughly 30 staffers who were let go by Jason S. Miyares shortly before he took office a little over a week ago. Democrats have questioned the firings and how they were carried out.
Victoria LaCivita, a Miyares spokeswoman, said the attorney general’s office had also fired the counsel for George Mason University, Brian Walther, saying it is common for an incoming attorney general to appoint counsel that shares its “philosophy and legal approach.”
Both Heaphy and Walther are Democrats.
A spokeswoman for Miyares called Heaphy a “controversial” hire and said the decision was made after reviewing legal decisions from the last couple of years.
The sham Jan 6th committee has been heavily criticized for its investigative actions.
They have been caught lying on a subpoena to Bernard Kerik and doctoring text messages from Jim Jordan.
