Senior FBI officials asked to resign or retire by Trump administration: Reports

The Trump administration fired a group of prosecutors involved in the Jan. 6 criminal cases, reflecting a determination to control federal law enforcement and purge perceived disloyal employees.
Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove ordered the firings after President Donald Trump's clemency action for over 1,500 individuals charged in the Capitol attack.
Bove also demanded the names of FBI agents involved in the Jan. 6 investigations, with potential mass firings indicated, which could threaten the FBI's independence.
The FBI Agents Association stated that mass firings would weaken the Bureau's ability to protect against threats and risk failure for its new leadership.
