The Justice Department has dismissed more than a dozen key officials who were part of former Special Counsel Jack Smith's team, which was involved in prosecuting President Donald Trump. This move comes shortly after Trump's team transferred Bradley Weinsheimer, the top career official at the Justice Department, from his position as associate deputy attorney general. These actions are perceived as part of an effort to place loyalists in critical decision-making roles within the department.
