US attorney general Pam Bondi fires three Jan 6 Capitol riot prosecutors; letter cites Constitution, offers no specific reason

The justice department dismissed at least three prosecutors involved in January 6th Capitol riot cases, including supervisors and a line prosecutor. These dismissals, confirmed by anonymous sources, are part of a pattern under the Trump administration raising concerns about political interference. Trump’s pardons of January 6th rioters and prior demotions of prosecutors further intensify these fears of retaliation.
