US EditionFBI fires additional agents who participated in investigating Trump, AP sources say
- D.C. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro this week raised concerns that paused planned terminations, but two FBI agents were fired again Tuesday; spokespeople for Kash Patel and Jeanine Pirro did not respond Tuesday.
- Under FBI Director Kash Patel, the bureau has pushed out agents and supervisors tied to the 2020 election investigation in a broader personnel purge.
- Sen. Chuck Grassley released FBI records showing investigators analyzed phone records from more than a half dozen Republican lawmakers, while three ousted high-ranking FBI officials sued Patel in September, accusing him of retribution.
- The scope of the firings remains unclear as the total number of fired FBI agents was not immediately clear, and the FBI Agents Association said Patel has 'disregarded the law' amid chaotic terminations.
- The developments connect to the broader 2020 election inquiry that led to GOP lawmakers' accusations that the Justice Department has been weaponized, with the FBI firing agents connected to Jan. 6 investigations during a personnel purge under FBI Director Kash Patel.
