DOJ directs FBI to fire 8 top officials, identify employees involved in Jan. 6, Hamas cases for review

Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove has directed the FBI to fire eight employees and identify all current and former personnel involved in Jan. 6 and Hamas cases for an internal review. Bove's memo asserts that the Department of Justice cannot trust these employees to carry out President Trump's agenda. The memo cites comments made by Trump accusing the Biden administration's law enforcement and intelligence agencies of targeting his political adversaries. Bove deems the terminations necessary to restore a culture of integrity and accountability. The directive comes after the firing of more than a dozen officials on former special counsel Jack Smith's team and the revelation of whistleblower emails regarding the FBI's investigation into the 2020 election.
