Lawyers were part of former special counsel Jack Smith's team which investigated Trump 's alleged mishandling of classified documents and his attempt to overturn his 2020 election defeat.

Both cases resulted in criminal charges against Trump , who pleaded not guilty, but the cases were closed following his November election win.

The firings follow a major reassignment of some of the justice department's top officials.
