The FBI has removed at least three senior officials, including a former acting director, the current acting director of the Washington Field Office, and a special agent involved in the investigation of Trump trade advisor Peter Navarro. Among those being ousted is former acting FBI director Brian Driscoll, in addition to Walter Giardina, a former special agent who played a major role in the investigation of Trump trade advisor Peter Navarro, and Steven Jensen, who was, until recently, the acting director of the FBI’s Washington, D.C., Field Office. Good.
Driscoll previously served as acting director prior to the confirmation of current FBI Director Kash Patel, while Jensen also held a prominent role in the bureau’s efforts related to the January 6th Capitol protest investigation. enior FBI leadership reportedly instructed the three officials to vacate their positions by Friday. Sources familiar with the situation informed the press that additional dismissals within the FBI are anticipated by the end of the week, though the total number of personnel affected and the nature of their roles within the bureau remain unclear.
The developments follow a sweeping internal inquiry launched earlier this year, during which thousands of FBI employees were required, as of February, to complete an extensive questionnaire. The form sought detailed information about any involvement in the investigation of the January 6, 2021, Capitol protest—ranging from courtroom testimony to the date of their most recent investigative activity related to the incident. he questionnaire ignited urgent concerns within the bureau, alongside fears that it might serve as a mechanism for retaliating against agents involved in the January 6th investigations, sources who spoke to Fox News said. These apprehensions intensified later that month, when then-Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove directed the FBI to compile a comprehensive roster of all current and former personnel engaged in investigations related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol protest.
The compiled data encompassed information on “thousands” of employees, detailing their unique identification numbers, current titles, and roles held at the time of the investigation.m Subsequently, a coalition of nine current FBI agents and employees filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court, expressing concerns that the creation of such a list could jeopardize their careers and disrupt the bureau’s critical operations.
