Washington was rocked this week after FBI Director Kash Patel claimed that President Donald Trump had already purged the bureau of what he called corrupt agents tied to the controversial Arctic Frost investigation, a probe that critics say was designed to target Trump over the 6 January Capitol unrest.
The claim has reignited fierce debate about political bias within federal law enforcement. Supporters hailed it as proof of a long-promised clean-up, while opponents questioned whether the purge was as sweeping as Patel suggested. The controversy underscores how deeply divided Washington remains over the FBI's role in politically sensitive investigations.
