Trump Administration Evaluates FBI Agents After Capitol Attack Investigation
In Washington DC, the Trump administration is considering the removal of FBI agents involved in the investigation of the January 6, 2021, US Capitol attack. This follows the dismissal of prosecutors who worked on criminal investigations related to former President Donald Trump. Trump has accused these agents of misconduct during their search of his home and their handling of the Capitol rioters.
Interim leaders at the Justice Department have compiled a list of individuals not favored by Trump due to their actions against him. The January 6 attack occurred after Trump's loss to Joe Biden in the presidential election, prompting a nationwide effort by the Justice Department and FBI to arrest the rioters. This has become the largest criminal investigation in US history, with over 1,580 individuals charged and approximately 1,270 convictions obtained.
Acting Attorney General James McHenry has expressed distrust in certain officials, stating they cannot be relied upon to implement Trump's agenda. He emphasized the importance of trust between senior officials and their subordinates for the proper functioning of the government. Trump has also issued pardons and commutations to around 1,500 individuals charged in connection with the Capitol attack.
