"The FBI has lost at least 300 agents working on national security matters, transferred agents out of the domestic terrorism operations section, disbanded the foreign influence task force, and instructed joint terrorism task forces to work on immigration cases."
"At DOJ, more than 6,000 employees have left. The National Security Division has lost up to one-third of its leadership, half the line prosecutors in the counterterrorism section, and half the workforce in the counterintelligence section."
"It is the same story throughout the administration, where conspiracy theories and obsessions with revenge are decimating the career law enforcement who protect us against national security threats."
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse highlighted the detrimental impact of the Trump administration's purges on national security. He noted the firing of veteran officials, including 300 FBI agents focused on national security. The Department of Justice has seen over 6,000 employees leave, with significant losses in leadership and workforce in critical sections. Whitehouse emphasized that these changes have compromised the ability to address national security threats, as conspiracy theories and revenge motives have led to the dismantling of essential law enforcement operations.
