On Friday, the Justice Department terminated the employment of more than a dozen prosecutors who had been working on cases related to the January 6 Capitol riot. These prosecutors were part of the US attorney's office in Washington, DC, and had been working on a temporary basis.
According to a DOJ memo obtained by a source, the prosecutors were in the process of being converted to permanent status at the end of former President Joe Biden's administration. The memo, circulated within the DC US attorney's office led by Ed Martin, highlighted concerns about the timing of these conversions.
