FBI Agents In Trump Probes Facing Dismissal

US media reported Friday that FBI agents involved in the now-abandoned criminal investigations against President Donald Trump are expected to be dismissed.

Dozens of agents who probed Trump supporters linked to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, along with several supervisors, are also under review for possible removal by the end of the day, CNN reported.

NBC News stated that the purge includes over 20 FBI field office heads, including those in Miami and Washington. According to CNN, at least six senior FBI officials have been ordered to “retire, resign, or be fired” by Monday.

On Monday, the Justice Department terminated several officials involved in prosecuting Trump. A Justice Department official said they were removed because the acting attorney general did not believe they could be trusted to implement the president’s agenda.

Special Counsel Jack Smith, who led two federal cases against Trump, resigned earlier this month. Smith had charged Trump with attempting to overturn the 2020 election results and mishandling classified documents, but both cases were dropped after Trump won the November election, aligning with the Justice Department’s policy of not prosecuting a sitting president.

FBI Director Christopher Wray resigned following Trump’s reelection, and the president has appointed Kash Patel, a former advisor and staunch loyalist, to lead the agency. At his Senate confirmation hearing Thursday, Patel was questioned about potential disciplinary actions against FBI agents involved in the Trump investigations.
