Four FBI agents had a rollercoaster start to the week after being fired on Monday, rehired later the same day, but then fired again on Tuesday, as FBI director Kash Patel sought to remove agents who helped investigate Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
Patel initially fired the agents on Monday, but it is reported that, following pushback from U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro of the District of Columbia and others, he reinstated them the same day.
