The Trump administration dismissed a group of prosecutors involved in the criminal cases of January 6 and demanded the names of the FBI agents involved in those same probes so that they can be expelled, movements that reflect a determination of the White House for Exercise control over federal law. The application and purge agencies of the employees of the race considered insufficiently loyal.
The Interim Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, ordered the layoffs of the days of the prosecutors of January 6 after the clemency action of President Donald Trump that benefits the more than 1,500 people accused in the attack of the Capitol of the United States , according to a memorandum obtained by Associated Press. Around two dozen employees in the United States prosecutor’s office in Washington were fired, said a person familiar with the matter who spoke on anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss personnel issues.
A separate BOVE memorandum identified more than half a dozen High Executives of the FBI that were ordered to withdraw or be dismissed on Monday, and also requested the names, titles and offices of all FBI employees who worked in investigations in January 6 , on January 6, 2021, Riot of Capitol of the United States – a list that the interim office of the office said that thousands could number. Bove, who has defended Trump in his criminal cases before joining the Administration, said that the officials of the Justice Department would carry out a “revision process to determine if additional personnel actions are needed.”
“As we have said from the moment we agreed to assume these roles, we will follow the law, follow the FBI policy and do whatever it is in the best interest of the US workforce and the people, always,” always, “director, director Interim of the FBI.
Prosecutors dismissed in the Office of the United States Prosecutor of DC had been hired for temporary assignments to support the cases of January 6, but were transferred to permanent roles after Trump’s presidential victory in November, according to the memorandum obtained by The AP. Bove, the interim attached attorney general, said that it would not “tolerate the actions of subversive personnel of the previous administration.”
Any mass dismissal in the FBI would be a great blow to the historical independence of the White House of the main federal agency for the application of the Law of the Nation, but would be in line with the persistent Trump resolution to bend the community of application of the application of the application of the application of the application of the Law and intelligence at your will. It would be part of a surprising pattern of federal federal government employees, after the forced Óulcos of a group of FBI high rank executives earlier this week, as well as a broad termination by the Department of Prosecutors of Justice of Justice of Justice of the special team of Jack Smith advisor who investigated victory.
The FBI agents association said the efforts reported to expel agents represented “scandalous actions of interim officials” that were “fundamentally in disagreement with the objectives of the application of the law described by President Trump and his support for the agents of the FBI “.
“Potentially discarding hundreds of agents would severely weaken the capacity of the office to protect the country from national security and criminal threats and, ultimately, will risk establishing the office and its new leadership for failure,” said the association in a release.
It was not clear immediately which resource could take any fired agent, but the office has a well -defined process for the endings and any abrupt action that ignores that protocol could presumably open the door to a legal challenge.
When he was pressed during his confirmation hearing on Thursday, Trump’s choice for FBI director, Kash Patel, said he was not aware of any plan to finish or punish FBI employees who were involved in Trump’s investigations . Patel said that it was confirmed that it would follow the FBI internal review processes to take action against employees.
Asked by Democratic Senator Cory Booker if he would reverse any decision before his confirmation that he does not follow that standard process, Patel said: “I do not know what is happening right now, but I am committed to you, senator and your colleagues, which I will honor the due FBI process “.
Before being nominated for the director’s position, Patel had commented at least one podcast appearance about what he called “Conspirators” Anti-Trump in the government and the media that, according to him, had to be unarmed.
Trump has expressed for years the department of the FBI and the justice for investigations that shaded his presidency, including an investigation into the ties between Russia and his 2016 campaign, and continued in the last four years. He shot an FBI director, James Comey, in the midst of Russia’s investigation and then replaced his second, Christopher Wray, only weeks after his victory in November.
When asked at the White House on Friday if it had something to do with the scrutiny of the agents, he said: “No, but we have some very bad people there. He was armed at a level that no one had ever seen before. They came after Many people, like me, but came after many people. “
He added: “If they shot some people there, that’s good, because they were very bad.”
The FBI and Smith team investigated Trump about their efforts to annul the 2020 presidential elections and their hoarding documents classified on their Mar-A-Lago farm in Florida. Both cases resulted in accusations that were withdrawn after Trump’s presidential victory due to the long policy of the Department of Justice that prohibits the federal prosecution of a acting president.
The Department of Justice also accused more than 1,500 supporters of Trump in relation to the disturbance of the Capitol, although Trump on his first day in office granted clemency to all of them, including those convicted of violent crimes, through Indones, switches of judgments and layoffs of accusations.
This week, the Department of Justice dismissed more than a dozen prosecutors who worked in Smith investigations, and a group of high -ranking executives of the FBI, including several directors and executive agents in charge of the field offices of the big cities , that will renounce or retire or be fired on Monday.
