Many officials who prosecuted Mr. Trump were fired.

The US Justice Department has fired officials who worked with special prosecutor Jack Smith in the investigations and prosecution of President Donald Trump.

CNN reported on January 27 that the US Department of Justice had fired dozens of officials involved in criminal investigations against Mr. Trump.

In a notice of dismissal, Acting Attorney General James McHenry argued that these officials cannot be trusted to carry out the president's agenda.

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

"You played a critical role in prosecuting President Trump. The functioning of government depends largely on the trust that senior officials have in their subordinates. Given your critical role in prosecuting the President, I do not believe that the Department's leadership can trust you to faithfully carry out the President's agenda," Mr. McHenry said.

In addition to the dismissals, the Trump administration is also investigating prosecutors involved in the investigation of defendants in the riot at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Several officials involved in the investigation and prosecution of President Donald Trump have been fired.

According to Reuters, the chief federal prosecutor in Washington DC, who was appointed by Mr. Trump, has opened an internal review of the application of obstruction of justice charges against those allegedly involved in the January 6, 2021 incident. Last year, the US Supreme Court raised the threshold for applying this charge, causing prosecutors to drop prosecutions in many cases.

In a report released in early January, prosecutor Jack Smith concluded that Mr. Trump engaged in an “unprecedented criminal effort” to maintain power after losing the 2020 presidential election. Mr. Smith closed the investigations and resigned before Mr. Trump took office.
