Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove ordered the firings of the Jan. 6 prosecutors days after President Donald Trump ’s sweeping clemency action benefiting the more than 1,500 people charged in the U.S. Capitol attack.

Bove , the acting deputy attorney general, said he would not “tolerate subversive personnel actions by the previous administration” Any mass firings at the FBI would be a major blow to the historic independence from the White House .

The FBI and Smith ’s team investigated Trump over his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election and his hoarding of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

The Justice Department also charged more than 1,500 Trump supporters in connection with the Capitol riot.

This week , the Justice Department fired more than a dozen prosecutors who worked on Smith investigations.
