According to the US media outlet, a letter sent by acting Attorney General James McHenry to the officials said they cannot be “trusted” to implement Trump’s agenda.

“You played a significant role in prosecuting President Trump,” the letter said “The proper functioning of government critically depends on the trust superior officials place in their subordinates. Given your significant role in prosecuting the President, I do not believe that the leadership of the Department can trust you to assist in implementing the President’s agenda faithfully. As a result, pursuant to Article Il of the Constitution and the laws of the United States, your employment with the Department of Justice is hereby terminated, and you are removed from federal service effective immediately.”

Fox News reported earlier Monday that McHenry had fired more than a dozen officials working on former special prosecutor Jack Smith’s team in the Trump prosecutions.
