NYT: Trump Admin Plans Massive Purge Of FBI Agents

January 31, 2025 Trump Corruption, Trump Lies

The New York Times reports:

The Trump administration plans to scrutinize scores of F.B.I. agents involved in Trump-related investigations, setting the stage for a possible purge targeting not only the bureau’s leaders but also rank-and-file agents, according to people familiar with the matter. On Friday, interim leaders at the Justice Department instructed the F.B.I. to notify around a half-dozen high-ranking career officials that they were being terminated. It is not clear who the officials are, or why they were targeted.

But a much larger group — which includes dozens and perhaps hundreds of lower-ranking career agents who had limited decision-making authority — are expected to notified over the next few days that they face possible termination, demotion or transfer. The targeted agents could include investigators who worked on some of the cases stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack, but might also include investigations that have no direct link to President Trump or the attack.
