In a sweeping and controversial move, the Trump Justice Department has dismissed at least three prosecutors who were actively involved in January 6-related cases, according to multiple reports confirmed by The Associated Press.
The terminations include two top supervisors in Washington, D.C. who had overseen Capitol riot cases, and a third line attorney assigned to individual prosecutions. Their firing letters were reportedly signed by Attorney General Pam Bondi and offered no explanation—only citing the administration’s Article II constitutional authority.

This latest shake-up follows months of aggressive removals targeting officials tied to Trump-related prosecutions. Back in February, interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin reassigned prosecutors involved in securing convictions of Oath Keepers and Proud Boys leaders. In January, acting Deputy AG Emil Bove terminated over two dozen prosecutors appointed during the Biden administration, accusing them of “subversive personnel actions.”
