Chesa Boudin staffers fired by new San Francisco DA Brooke Jenkins after media leaks
Newly sworn-in San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins has fired at least 15 staffers as part of a major, officewide shake-up stemming from the recall of progressive prosecutor Chesa Boudin.
Jenkins, who was appointed by Mayor London Breed and sworn in last Friday, originally worked for Boudin as an assistant district attorney. She resigned to lead the campaign to oust her far-left boss over his lax treatment of violent criminals and drug offenders, though many of Boudin's progressive allies remained in top staff positions after the recall. The 40-year-old announced the staffing overhaul in a statement one week after taking office.
“I promised the public that I would restore accountability and consequences to the criminal justice system while advancing smart reforms responsibly," Jenkins's statement read.
You won't have to worry about the dirt if you clean house.
And I think they're starting to figure out that if you don't clean house, you won't have one.
