DOJ fires prosecutors who worked on Trump criminal cases

Justice Department officials fired several prosecutors who worked on President Trump’s criminal cases, saying they could not “trust” them.

The move impacted at least a dozen prosecutors who worked both on Trump’s election interference case as well as another for improperly retaining records at Mar-a-Lago.

“Today, Acting Attorney General James McHenry terminated the employment of a number of DOJ officials who played a significant role in prosecuting President Trump,” a DOJ official said in a statement.

“In light of their actions, the Acting Attorney General does not trust these officials to assist in faithfully implementing the President’s agenda. This action is consistent with the mission of ending the weaponization of government.”

CNN first reported the terminations.

The firings come as The Wall Street Journal reported DOJ is likewise asking prosecutors who worked on the case of Jan. 6 defendants to turn over their files on those who were charged with felony obstruction under 1512(c)(2).

That direction comes after the Supreme Court last year sided with a Jan. 6 defendant in determining the statute had been too broadly applied.
