"Bondi fires 20 DOJ employees from Jan. 6, Trump documents cases
Attorney General Pam Bondi has fired more than 20 Justice Department employees who worked on cases involving the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol and Donald Trump's handling of classified documents, sources told Axios.
Why it matters: The firings are part of a massive purge aimed at clearing DOJ of attorneys and support staff who took part in Special Counsel Jack Smith's prosecution of Trump for Jan. 6 and possessing classified documents unlawfully.
- The new dismissals bring the total Smith-related firings to about 35.
- About 15 more could face termination.
- The 20 ousted Friday included lawyers, support staff and U.S. Marshals, one Justice official said. In some cases, the staffers had volunteered for duty to investigate or prosecute Trump. Prior to Bondi taking office, 14 other Smith-related officials were fired."
It is a nice start. There's a lot more work to be done. The DOJ and FBI will be de-weaponized.
