Trump administration forces out multiple senior FBI officials
The move came hours after FBI director nominee Kash Patel testified in his confirmation hearing he was “not aware of” plans to remove FBI officials who investigated Trump.
Trump administration officials have forced out all six of the FBI’s most senior executives and multiple heads of various FBI field offices across the country, current and former FBI officials told NBC News. They included the high-profile leader of the Washington, DC field office, which was involved in the prosecutions of President Donald Trump.
It was not immediately clear why the officials had been ousted. The FBI declined to comment.
