The early days of Donald Trump's second term have been marked by rapid-fire attempts to shrink the federal government to a size small enough to be drowned in a golden bathtub. While blanket attempts to purge federal employees have been widely reported, it's clear that the first convicted felon prez is paying close attention to the payroll of the FBI.
Trump's administration has placed pressure on FBI executives to resign, with a particular focus on ousting the appointees of former FBI Director Christopher Wray. The ex-bureau chief was at the helm while the FBI investigated Trump over his actions during the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol, painting a target on his back for Trump's second term. While Wray resigned before he could be booted from the position, reports indicate Trump wasn't satisfied with just the top man's walking papers.
