The Justice Department has terminated over a dozen employees involved in criminal prosecutions against President Donald Trump, in a rapid retribution effort. This action reflects a broader upheaval within the department, consistent with the administration's intention to eradicate personnel considered disloyal. Historically, career prosecutors are retained across different administrations, but this abrupt change disrupts that tradition. Acting Attorney General James McHenry stated the firings aimed to ensure loyalty to the President's agenda. The long-term implications for remaining staff and ongoing investigations remain uncertain.
The abrupt termination targeting career prosecutors who worked on special counsel Jack Smith's team is the latest sign of upheaval inside the Justice Department and is consistent with the administration's determination to purge the government of workers it perceives as disloyal to the president.
In light of their actions, the Acting Attorney General does not trust these officials to assist in faithfully implementing the President's agenda. This action is consistent with the mission of ending the weaponisation of government.
