Overview

• Attorney General Pam Bondi on June 27 dismissed three prosecutors who worked on Capitol riot cases, including two supervisors and a line attorney.
• Each termination letter, signed by Bondi, gave no specific cause and referenced only Article II of the U.S. Constitution.
• These firings mark the first removals of career prosecutors who had completed their probationary period on Jan. 6 prosecutions.
• Earlier this year, the administration also fired probationary DOJ attorneys and demoted supervisors involved in Capitol attack investigations.
• Current and former officials warn the actions have unsettled DOJ and FBI staff and could deter future cases against Trump allies.
