Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is on the outs with MAGA after the Jeffrey Epstein debacle, is cleaning house at the Department of Justice.
Despite calls for her resignation, Bondi is continuing to trim the DOJ workforce, this time by axing over 20 employees who had worked on cases related to President Donald Trump’s classified documents and the events of January 6.
This is the latest part of a purge of attorneys and staffers at the Justice Department who took part in these cases, and according to Axios, more are coming down the pipeline. The total number of firings related to the Smith prosecution of Trump has reached 35, and as many as 15 more could be on the chopping block.
“Reuters reported Friday night that nine staffers had been let go, but Axios sources said the number was 20 and as many as 37 people could ultimately be let go from offices in Washington, Virginia, Florida and other parts of the country,” the outlet reported.
“The 20 ousted Friday included lawyers, support staff and U.S. marshals, one Justice official said. In some cases, the staffers had volunteered for duty to investigate or prosecute Trump. Prior to Bondi taking office, 14 other Smith-related officials were fired,” the article continued.
“We’re reviewing and making sure,” remarked an administration official. “Some of these people were burrowed deep, and we’re finding them and making a determination.”

Takeaway is that DOJ should not be bringing bullshit cases against sitting president’s no. 1 political rival.
