FBI agents in Trump probes facing dismissal: reports

By Agence France-Presse
Published January 31, 2025 4:52 PM ET

FBI agents who participated in the investigations that led to now-abandoned criminal charges against President Donald Trump are expected to be fired, US media reported Friday.

Dozens of FBI agents involved in the probe of Trump supporters who stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 and some supervisors are also "being evaluated for possible removal as soon as the end of Friday," CNN said, quoting people briefed on the matter.

NBC News said the purge includes more than 20 heads of Federal Bureau of Investigation field offices including those in Miami and Washington.

Yes, FBI agents who are fired may have recourse, such as a legal challenge. The FBI has a defined process for terminating employees, and any action that bypasses that process could be open to legal challenge.
Explanation
The FBI is part of the U.S. Department of Justice and is responsible to the attorney general. The FBI has a well-defined process for terminating employees. If an FBI agent is fired, they may be able to challenge the termination in court.


What does Pam Bondi have to say about this ...............someone should ask............like the media.............the feckless media ..............
