Trump fires DOJ prosecutors, initiates 'review process' of J6 FBI agents

On the campaign trail in 2024, Donald Trump promised to "drain the swamp."

We're less than two weeks into his second term, and he's already keeping his word.

Trump's Justice Department has fired dozens of federal prosecutors who were involved in J6 cases and informed America's FBI that it was initiating a "review process" to determine if thousands of agents who worked J6 investigations should be terminated.

The prosecutors who were fired were informed of their dismissal in a letter from interim DC US Attorney Ed Martin.

Martin wrote to the 30 or so fired federal prosecutors and informed them that they "were being removed as a direct result of their role in the prosecution of some of the more than 1,500 individuals who stormed the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021."

His letter also cited President Trump's Day One executive order that pardoned Jan. 6 defendants.

Trump called the prosecutions "a grave national injustice that has been perpetrated upon the American people over the last four years."

Acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll, Jr., recently told his employees that more firings were likely coming after Trump asked for a list of people at the bureau who worked on Jan. 6 cases.

"We understand that this request encompasses thousands of employees across the country who have supported these investigative efforts," Driscoll wrote. "I am one of those employees."
