Attorney General Pam Bondi has fired at least three career Justice Department prosecutors who worked on cases related to the Jan. 6 insurrection.
The attorneys were informed in letters signed by Bondi that they were “removed from federal service effective immediately” with no further explanation, NBC News reported.
One federal law enforcement official told NBC that the firings were “horrifying,” calling it “a slap in the face not only to them, but to all career DOJ prosecutors.”
“No one is safe from this administration’s whims and impulses,” the insider added. “And the public certainly is not served by the continued brain drain of DOJ—we are losing the best among us every day.”
The move is an escalation of the Trump administration’s targeted retaliation against federal officials who worked on cases against President Donald Trump and his supporters.
