Overview
- On Wednesday, the president used Truth Social to label former FBI special agent Walter Giardina a "DIRTY COP" and demanded he be investigated immediately.
- He also pressed for probes of Jack Smith, Jay Bratt, Thomas Windom, Lisa Monaco, Andrew Weissmann, Norm Eisen, Christopher Wray, Merrick Garland, and the watchdog group CREW.
- Raw Story reports that Giardina was informed of his firing in August after work on Trump-related inquiries and prosecutions tied to the January 6 attack.
- Reporting says Giardina resisted efforts to disclose the identities of FBI agents involved in the Jan. 6 investigation.
- Alternet notes that several of those named worked on or around the Mueller Russia investigation, and that Wray is the only Trump appointee on the list, having resigned early in Trump's second term after clashes over his leadership.
