The Justice Department has fired more than a dozen officials involved in former special counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution of President Trump, The Post has confirmed.
Acting Attorney General James McHenry ordered the terminations because he believed the officials could not be trusted in “faithfully implementing the president’s agenda,” a DOJ official said in a statement to Fox News, which first reported the firings on Monday.
“Today, Acting Attorney General James McHenry terminated the employment of a number of DOJ officials who played a significant role in prosecuting President Trump,” the statement read. “In light of their actions, the Acting Attorney General does not trust these officials to assist in faithfully implementing the President’s agenda.”
