While incoming FBI Director Kash Patel sat in front of a Senate subcommittee for his hours-long confirmation hearing yesterday, the housecleaning at the FBI was well underway.
According to a CNN report, “At least six FBI leaders” have been removed or told to resign by Monday.
This adds to the purge that took place this week at the Department of Justice, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
At least a dozen employees at the DOJ were fired on Monday, mainly those involved in the political prosecutions levied against President Trump during “the Pause” between his administrations.
At the NLRB, President Trump fired both General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo and Gwynne Wilcox, the Democrat board member appointed by Joe Biden.
