The Trump administration has dismissed six senior FBI executives, including heads of various field offices, amid claims of political bias affecting investigations into January 6 and Trump’s actions. The removals were influenced by Trump's recent executive order describing January 6 prosecutions as a 'national injustice' and were announced shortly after his nominee for FBI director, Kash Patel, denied knowledge of any retaliatory actions during his Senate confirmation hearing. Current officials fear this sweeping change may compromise national security and alter the bureau’s independence, drawing condemnation from various legal experts and former FBI agents.
