The Trump administration has removed at least three career federal prosecutors who were involved in the prosecution of individuals charged in connection with the January 6 Capitol breach.
The action was taken on Friday by Attorney General Pam Bondi, who issued dismissal letters formally ending their employment.

Copies of the termination notices, obtained and reported by NBC News, state the individuals were “removed from federal service effective immediately.”

The letters did not include specific reasons for their dismissal.
The Justice Department had previously removed several probationary prosecutors who had also worked on January 6 cases.
Those individuals were either recently hired or had not completed their probationary periods.
Additionally, President Trump issued pardons for all individuals arrested during the January 6 events, including those convicted of assaulting federal officers.
Some of the probationary prosecutors dismissed earlier this year were also reportedly involved in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into whether President Trump had unlawfully attempted to overturn the 2020 election results.
Those firings came shortly after the administration began reviewing personnel files across federal agencies.
The recent firings have caused unrest within the Department of Justice.
According to NBC News, multiple DOJ officials expressed concern about the direction of the department.
One federal law enforcement official described the move as “horrifying” and said it could have a chilling effect on prosecutors who may be asked to conduct politically sensitive investigations in the future.
“To fire them, without explanation, is a slap in the face not only to them, but to all career DOJ prosecutors,” one DOJ official said.
“No one is safe from this administration’s whims and impulses. And the public certainly is not served by the continued brain drain of DOJ — we are losing the best among us every day.”
The dismissals were carried out the same day the Supreme Court issued a landmark 6-3 decision siding with the Trump administration on the matter of nationwide injunctions.
The ruling found that individual federal district court judges lack the authority to issue injunctions that apply across the entire country.
The case, centered on birthright citizenship, involved legal challenges to President Trump’s executive order ending automatic citizenship for children born to illegal aliens.
The decision allows Trump’s policy to take effect in states that have not directly challenged the executive order.
Trump addressed the ruling at the White House shortly after the decision was announced.
“This really brings back the Constitution. This is what it’s all about,” Trump said.

Attorney General Pam Bondi joined Trump on stage during the announcement and praised the ruling.
“Not one district court judge can think they’re an emperor over this administration and his executive powers, and why the people of the United States elected him,” Bondi stated.

The Supreme Court’s decision was supported by all six conservative justices, including Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett — all appointed by President Trump.
The combination of the high court ruling and DOJ personnel changes signals a continued restructuring of federal policy under Trump’s second term, with particular focus on immigration enforcement, executive authority, and accountability for prior investigations involving the president and his administration.
