Alert: Attorney General Pam Bondi Abruptly Fires 3 Prosecutors Who Were Involved in Jan. 6 Criminal Cases, AP Sources Say

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, WASHINGTON, D.C., JUN 27 – Attorney General Pam Bondi dismissed three career prosecutors involved in January 6 cases, following President Trump's pardon of over 1,500 individuals convicted in the Capitol riot.

  • Last Friday, Attorney General Pam Bondi fired at least three career prosecutors involved in January 6 cases, marking the first dismissals of officials working on those prosecutions.
  • Following Trump's return in January, he pardoned about 1,500 Jan. 6 convicts, prompting broader DOJ dismissals and internal reviews to realign priorities.
  • NBC News reports that termination letters cited only Article II and U.S. laws, dismissing two supervisory attorneys and a line prosecutor without reasons.
  • The firings have sent a chilling, 'horrifying' wave through DOJ staff, deterring prosecutors from politically sensitive cases, NBC reports NBC News.
  • Beyond initial dismissals, these first firings of Jan. 6 prosecutors signal a pattern that may weaken DOJ civil service protections and independence.
