DOJ Fires Officials Who ‘Played a Significant Role’ in Anti-Trump Prosecutions

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has just fired several officials who “played a significant role in prosecuting President Trump” under the last administration.

Pam Bondi, Trump’s choice for U.S. Attorney General, has not yet been confirmed to lead the DOJ.

Nevertheless, the Trump DOJ is wasting no time in weeding out officials who cannot be trusted to implement the duly elected president’s agenda.

Acting Attorney General James McHenry sent a letter to more than a dozen officials connected to the Biden administration’s DOJ investigations into Trump.

The letter informs those anti-Trump officials that they had been fired.

McHenry wrote:

As President Trump declared on his first day in office, “The American people have witnessed the previous administration engage in a systematic campaign against its perceived political opponents, weaponizing the legal force of numerous Federal law enforcement agencies … against those perceived political opponents in the form of investigations, prosecutions, civil enforcement actions, and other related actions.”

“Nowhere was that effort more salient than in the unprecedented prosecutions the Department of Justice vigorously pursued against President Trump himself,” McHenry warned.

“You played a significant role in prosecuting President Trump,” he continued.

“The proper functioning of government critically depends on the trust superior officials place in their subordinates.

“Given your significant role in prosecuting the President, I do not believe that the leadership of the Department can trust you to assist in implementing the President’s agenda faithfully.”

Former President Joe Biden’s DOJ investigated Trump relentlessly.

In June 2022, federal agents raided Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago.

They were searching for more documents they thought Trump had taken from the White House.

It came after the National Archives had claimed it had obtained 15 boxes of presidential records Trump had taken there.

In August 2022, FBI agents raided Mar-a-Lago to search for more documents.

In mid-November 2022, after Trump announced he would run for president in 2024.

Immediately after the announcement, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Jack Smith as special counsel to supervise the Justice Department’s criminal investigation into Trump’s alleged retention of national defense information.

Garland also ordered Smith to investigate the alleged attempts by some people to reverse the 2020 election.

In June 2023, Smith’s office issued a 37-count indictment against Trump regarding his alleged mishandling of classified documents.

On July 1, 2024, the Supreme Court ruled that Trump was entitled to presumptive immunity from prosecution for official acts he took while in office.

In mid-July, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the classified documents case on the grounds that Jack Smith’s appointment was unconstitutional because he was not appointed by the president or confirmed by Congress.

Smith then appealed the decision.

However, after Trump was elected president in November 2024, Smith asked the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals to pause his appeal.

He later asked the court to dismiss it entirely.
