Trump continues federal purge by ordering several top FBI officials to resign or face termination


Multiple top FBI executives promoted by former Director Christopher Wray were given an ultimatum to resign or retire on Thursday, or they would be fired. This move involved about a half-dozen executive assistant directors and at least two heads of field offices in Miami and Las Vegas. One official, Spencer Evans, expressed shock at the decision with no explanation given. While initially it was reported that the officials were offered demotions or re-assignments, it was later learned that this was not the case. The personnel moves were seen as disruptive and causing anger among affected employees as they are not considered political figures.

This purge of senior officials at the FBI comes in the wake of a series of terminations in the first 10 days of the Trump administration, including the firing of 18 inspectors general. Trump defended these firings, citing unfairness or lack of performance. Additionally, career attorneys at the Justice Department involved in prosecuting Trump have also been fired, raising concerns over potential retribution. Trump has chosen Kash Patel to lead the FBI in his second term, and Patel has assured that there will be no retributive actions if he is confirmed.

The changes at the FBI and within the federal government under the Trump administration have raised questions and criticism. The FBI declined to comment on the personnel moves, and the situation continues to develop as the administration makes significant staffing changes in various government agencies.
