Trump’s Justice Department Fires Officials Who Investigated Him

Share this article

The U.S. Department of Justice, under President Donald Trump’s administration, dismissed over a dozen officials who had been involved in investigations targeting the former president. These included cases related to Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results and the retention of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. Among those fired were members of former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team, who had previously pursued criminal charges against Trump. The move has drawn criticism from legal experts, with many viewing it as a threat to the rule of law. Critics suggest this is part of a broader effort to remove individuals perceived as disloyal to Trump. The firings followed the resignation of Jack Smith in early 2025, amid expectations that his team would face dismissal under the new administration.
