The Trump administration has forced out more FBI officials who investigated Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. The purge includes Steven Jensen, the head of the FBI’s Washington, D.C., field office. Jensen led a domestic terrorism unit that investigated the January 6 Capitol insurrection. Also fired is Brian Driscoll, who briefly served as acting FBI director at the beginning of the second Trump administration. Driscoll resisted demands that he turn over the names of FBI agents previously assigned to January 6 probes. And FBI special agent Walter Giardina was fired. He was a member of the team that investigated Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro’s work to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election.
