Description
The U.S. Department of Justice has terminated 20 employees who were involved in the investigation of former President Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents in 2023, according to a report from CBS News citing a source familiar with the matter.
The dismissed personnel include paralegals assigned to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office, along with finance and support staff, and two additional prosecutors, the source said.
The firings were reportedly carried out by Attorney General Pam Bondi’s “Weaponization Working Group,” which is currently reviewing several DOJ investigations concerning Trump.
