The Trump administration is moving forward with plans to expand a purge of career law enforcement officials, particularly targeting FBI agents involved in investigations related to the January 6 US Capitol attack and Trump-related matters. According to sources familiar with the situation, dozens of FBI agents and some supervisors are being evaluated for potential removal by the end of Friday.
This latest development underscores the administration's swift action to fulfill President Donald Trump's promise to retaliate against what he perceives as a Justice Department and FBI that have been weaponized against him. Trump has made unfounded allegations of misconduct by agents, including during the search of his Mar-a-Lago residence and in their handling of Capitol rioters.
