Acting Attorney General McHenry Fires Over a Dozen Officials from Jack Smith's Trump Prosecution Team
Jan 27, 2025, 10:48 PM
Acting Attorney General James McHenry announced that the Justice Department has fired more than a dozen officials who worked on former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team prosecuting President Donald Trump. McHenry stated that the officials could not be trusted to 'faithfully implement the president’s agenda.' The terminations affect employees involved in the investigations and prosecutions of President Trump, including cases related to the handling of classified documents and the events of January 6. The move signals a swift effort by the Trump administration to exert greater control over the Justice Department following his election victory.
