Justice Department abruptly fires 3 prosecutors involved in Jan. 6 criminal cases, AP sources say
UNITED STATES, JUN 28 – Attorney General Pam Bondi fired three prosecutors overseeing January 6 cases as part of a DOJ reshuffle following President Trump's pardons of over 1,500 defendants, officials said.
- The Trump administration has dismissed at least three Justice Department prosecutors involved in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack cases, as reported by two people familiar with the matter.
- The dismissed prosecutors include two supervisory attorneys and a third attorney who helped prosecute individual cases.
- The DOJ has not formally explained the rationale behind the latest firings or disclosed whether more dismissals are planned.
- Legal analysts suggest that these firings may have a chilling effect on the DOJ's willingness to pursue politically sensitive cases going forward.
