Share this @internewscast.com

The Trump administration has reportedly dismissed multiple top FBI officials, according to several sources.

Brian Driscoll, previously the temporary leader of the agency before Kash Patel assumed the position, was informed that he needed to leave, as reported by Fox News.

Walter Giardina, a special agent who conducted investigations into Trump advisor Peter Navarro, and Steven Jensen, the acting director of the FBI’s Washington Field Office, were also reportedly dismissed, according to information the outlet received from sources.

Jensen reportedly played a role in the department’s January 6 investigations. 

Giardina, involved in numerous Trump-related investigations, has been accused by Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley of having political bias against former President Trump.

Grassley’s office detailed allegations against Special Agent (SA) Walter Giardina, highlighting his significant involvement in investigations of Trump advisors and high-profile cases like Crossfire Hurricane, Special Counsel Mueller’s probe, and investigations concerning Dan Scavino, Roger Stone, and Hillary Clinton, in a June press release.

It was alleged that Giardina was one of the first to see the Steele Dossier and falsely claimed it was verified as true. The allegations also state he expressed hostility towards President Trump and was motivated by personal reasons to investigate him.

One official with knowledge of the firings told Fox News the removals were ‘retribution.’

The three senior FBI officials were reportedly told to leave the agency by Friday, though they were not given specifics as to why.

The FBI declined to comment.  

Before Trump retook office, the FBI was involved in investigating a slew of cases against the president. 

The department probed the 2016 Trump campaign’s ties to Russia and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. 

The FBI has been scrutinizing Trump’s involvement in the January 6 Capitol unrest and conducted a search of his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida concerning an investigation into the possible mishandling of classified materials.

The ‘retribution’ comment underscores the administration’s desire to push back against those who previously persecuted the president. 

In June, the FBI forced out another batch of agents, including Michael Feinberg, Spencer Evans and Stanley Meador. 

Feinberg was a top official in the agency’s Norfolk, Virginia, office, and the latter two ran FBI field offices in Las Vegas and Richmond, Virginia.

Hordes of staffers are weighing options to voluntarily leave government employment to avoid being randomly fired, sources familiar with dealings at the Justice Department, told the Washington Post

These departures have reportedly worsened staffing woes at top FBI offices like those in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C.
