Several senior FBI officials, including the directors of the bureau’s Washington and Miami field offices, were escorted out of their offices on Friday after being fired by the Trump Department of Justice. Several prosecutors who worked on the politicized investigations into President Trump and the January 6 Capitol protests were also terminated.Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove sent a memo to the acting FBI director Friday evening directing him to terminate eight senior bureau employees effective immediately. Acting Director Brian Driscoll was further instructed to identify all current and former FBI employees who worked on January 6 cases for a formal review.
In the memo titled “Terminations,” which was obtained by Fox News, Bove laid out that the “subversive” employees cannot be trusted to carry out President Trump’s agenda. “This memorandum sets forth a series of directives, authorized by the Acting Attorney General, regarding personnel matters to be addressed at the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” Bove wrote.
