The Trump administration has initiated a significant purge of the FBI aimed at officials tied to investigations concerning President Trump and the January 6 Capitol riot. Reports indicate that numerous FBI agents and senior officials are under scrutiny for potential termination or mandated resignations. This follows Trump's prior mass pardons related to the riot. Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove has ordered a review of personnel involved in these investigations, while the FBI's acting director emphasizes adherence to the law and policies to protect workforce integrity amid these changes.
The moves follow Trump's mass pardons of over 1,500 individuals charged in connection with the January 6 US Capitol riot, including those convicted of violent crimes.
Bove said that this precedes a 'review process to determine whether any additional personnel actions are necessary' vowing not to 'tolerate subversive personnel actions by the previous administration.'
