The Trump administration has purged several top FBI officials seen as being at odds with the White House, including a former acting director who refused a request to compile a list of agents who worked on cases related to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
Brian Driscoll, who in the early days of Trump’s second term was briefly put in charge of the bureau, was asked to step down this week, according to multiple reports.
Steve Jensen, the assistant director in charge of the Washington Field Office who was directly involved in Jan. 6-related investigations, was also pushed out.
