Deputy District Attorney Daniel Chung is involved in a legal battle against District Attorney Jeff Rosen regarding employment disputes. Despite being reinstated by both an arbitrator and the Personnel Board, Chung is not assigned any work and has been restricted from accessing the office and resources. The conflict originated when Chung criticized progressive prosecutors in an opinion piece, leading to suspensions and subsequent firings. Rosen has faced a third lawsuit from Chung, which alleges violations of his rights and unjust dismissal practices.
District Attorney Jeff Rosen has fired Deputy District Attorney Daniel Chung twice, ordered to reinstate him both times by an arbitrator and the Santa Clara County Personnel Board.
David Angel stated in an email to Chung that he is not to perform prosecutorial or investigative assignments, limiting Chung's access to the workplace and resources.
Chung's feud with Rosen began in February 2021, following an opinion piece criticizing progressive prosecutors; he has since been involved in multiple lawsuits against Rosen.
Despite being reinstated on payroll, Chung is collecting paychecks without an assignment as Rosen has not allowed him access to work or training.
