Top DOJ official says FBI employees who 'simply followed orders' on Jan 6 investigations won't be fired
Fox News correspondent David Spunt has the latest on the debate surrounding President Donald Trump's efforts to overhaul the FBI and Justice Department on'Special Report.' FBI employees who "simply followed orders" with respect to their investigations into Jan. Bove's memo this week accused Acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll of refusing to reply to requests from President Donald Trump's administration to identify "the core team in Washington, D.C. responsible for the investigation relating to events on January 6, 2021." "That insubordination necessitated, among other things, the directive in my January 31, 2025 memo to identify all agents assigned to investigations relating to January 6, 2021. In light of acting leadership's refusal to comply with the narrower request, the written directive was intended to obtain a complete data set that the Justice Department can reliably pare down to the core team that will be the focus of the weaponization review pursuant to the Executive Order," Bove wrote.
