Los Angeles prosecutor pens scathing exit letter to progressive DA George Gascon: ‘Managerial dumpster fire’
Fox News
A veteran Los Angeles County prosecutor criticized District Attorney George Gascon on his last day in a long letter in which he aired his grievances.
"Until December 2020, I thought I had the best job in the world," Burnley wrote, referring to when Gascon took office after unseating incumbent DA Jackie Lacey, in a letter obtained by Fox News Digital. "I am constantly amazed by the expertise and knowledge of the DDAs in this office. They are deeply devoted and have a breathtaking amount of experience. It’s a shame you cannot or will not recognize that." Louis Casiano is a reporter for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to louis.casiano@fox.com.
In his letter, Burnley said he was told by a member of Gascon's transition team before he took office that there would not be any "dramatic" policy changes. The morning before he was sworn in as the county's top prosecutor, Burnley was informed otherwise, he said.
