DOJ Officials Who Investigated Trump are Fired, Told They Can't 'Be Trusted'

The Trump administration has fired several career lawyers from the Justice Department who were involved in the investigation and prosecution of Donald Trump.

Acting Attorney General James McHenry informed the officials today they were fired with immediate effect, claiming they cannot be "trusted" to "faithfully" implement Trump's agenda.

The employees were all part of special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election results after he lost, and his handling of classified documents found at his Florida residence. Both cases were dropped by Smith after Trump's victory this past November.

Trump had accused Smith and President Joe Biden's DOJ of targeting him politically in the two federal probes.

Monday's DOJ firings come amid staff changes in the federal government that could result in its ranks stacked with Trump loyalists. This past Friday, Trump fired several inspector generals from more than a dozen federal agencies, and he has pushed for agencies to fire more federal workers.
