  • The Trump administration is set to expand a purge of career law enforcement officials, demanding the names of those who worked on January 6, 2021, US Capitol attack and Trump-related investigations for potential removal - a move that could affect thousands.

The article from CNN, published on January 31, 2025, discusses the firing of several FBI agents who were involved in the investigation of the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. These agents were dismissed following an internal review which found that they had engaged in misconduct, including unauthorized surveillance and the mishandling of sensitive information. The dismissals have sparked controversy, with some former colleagues and legal experts arguing that the agents were scapegoats for broader systemic issues within the FBI. Critics claim that the firings could undermine ongoing investigations and might deter other agents from pursuing politically sensitive cases. The FBI has stated that these actions were necessary to maintain the integrity of their operations and public trust, emphasizing that the dismissals were not reflective of the entire team's efforts but were targeted at specific instances of misconduct.
