2 Minute Article Mass Firings and Pressure at FBI

The FBI is facing internal tension as fears of mass firings grow due to the Trump administration's actions against agents involved in Jan. 6 investigations. Acting Director Brian Driscoll and the FBI Agents Association are working to reassure staff and maintain due process protections. The administration's request for names of agents involved in these cases is seen as politically motivated, prompting concerns about the erosion of the FBI's independence. Agents are advised to remain calm and consult leadership when responding to inquiries about their roles in Jan. 6 cases.
