FBI fires agents who worked on Trump classified document investigation, AP sources say
AI Summary
The FBI has fired agents involved in the investigation of former President Trump's handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. These firings are part of a larger personnel purge led by Trump-appointee Director Kash Patel, who has dismissed numerous employees involved in investigations of the former president or perceived as misaligned with the administration. The Justice Department has also engaged in similar firings of prosecutors. The FBI Agents Association condemned the firings, claiming they weaken the bureau and endanger national security by removing expertise and undermining trust. The firings included employees who worked on the Mar-a-Lago case, which resulted in Trump being charged with retaining top-secret records and obstructing government efforts to retrieve them.
