The US Justice Department fired more than a dozen officials who worked on investigations that former Special Counsel Jack Smith led into Donald Trump’s actions following the president’s 2020 election loss.
Acting Attorney General James McHenry removed the officials because he didn’t believe those staff members could be trusted to implement the president’s agenda due to their roles in the investigations, a department spokesperson said in a statement.
