The Justice Department has removed at least three top national security officials as part of a widespread purge of senior career leaders across the law enforcement agency.

The removals amount to a complete gutting of leadership in the highly sensitive National Security Division , which is charged with working with the FBI and other intelligence agencies to protect the nation from threats.

The officials must now decide if they will accept new assignments or resign.
