CNN reported on February 1 that President Donald Trump's administration is about to lay off law enforcement officials, including dozens of FBI agents who participated in investigations related to Mr. Trump and the protesters storming the Capitol building on January 6, 2021.

The move shows how the new administration is moving quickly to make good on Mr. Trump’s pledge to hit back at the Justice Department and FBI, agencies he says have been used against him.

Interim leaders at the Justice Department have spent the past week compiling a list of employees who displease Trump for various reasons, according to sources. Some agents and analysts have been warned by FBI leadership that they could be offered leave or forced out.

What does President Trump's first week in office reveal about his second term?

Agents involved in investigating alleged mishandling of classified documents by Mr. Trump and those investigating the roughly 1,600 people charged or convicted in connection with the Capitol riot have expressed concern that they could face retaliation for their work.

The Justice Department and the FBI declined to comment.

According to information obtained by CNN, at least 12 prosecutors who handled cases related to the riots were terminated by the Justice Department on January 31. At the FBI, at least six senior leaders have been asked to retire, resigned or forced to resign.

Reuters cited a memo showing that Acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll confirmed that eight senior officials of the agency have been asked to resign or forced out. The FBI has also been directed to soon release a list of all employees and former employees involved in investigations into the January 6, 2021 riot.

Currently, Mr. Trump's nominee to lead the FBI, Mr. Kash Patel, is awaiting approval by the US Senate. During a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee on January 30, Mr. Patel said he was not aware of any upcoming personnel plans at the FBI.
