WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has reportedly fired several Justice Department officials who were involved in investigations related to him, including those working under former special counsel Jack Smith.

A letter obtained by CNN from acting Attorney General James McHenry informed the fired officials that their significant roles in prosecuting the President, coupled with a perceived lack of loyalty to Trump’s agenda, led to their dismissal.

McHenry emphasized the importance of trust in leadership, stating that these officials could no longer be relied upon to support the President’s priorities.

The identities of the dismissed personnel remain unknown.
