Trump fires FBI leader who refused to fire J6 investigators

FBI agent Brian Driscoll, who was named as the acting director of the FBI before Kash Patel could be confirmed, has been ousted from the agency, NBC News reporter Ken Dilanian said on Thursday.

Driscoll was an 18-year veteran with the FBI who started his career investigating organized crime, according to the release announcing his post in January. He ultimately became part of the elite hostage rescue team.

He likely drew Trump's ire when he refused an order by Justice Department official Emil Bove to deliver the names of every agent or investigator who touched any part of the Jan. 6 cases.


According to Dilanian's previous reports, the incident in February involved Driscoll pushing back so hard against Trump's demands that he assumed he would be fired. There were eight senior FBI executives whom Bove wanted removed immediately, and he wanted the names of the rest of those who were investigating Trump's fans. ...............

Drizz sent a message to colleagues:

“Last night I was informed that tomorrow will be my last day in the FBI. I understand that you may have a lot of questions regarding why, for which I currently have no answers. No cause has been articulated at this time.
Please know that it has been the honor of my life to serve alongside each of you. Thank you for allowing me to stand on your shoulders throughout it all. Our collective sacrifices for those we serve is, and will always be, worth it. I regret nothing. You are my heroes, and I remain in your debt.”

FBI forces out more leaders, including ex-director who fought Trump demand for Jan. 6 agents’ names

Another high-profile termination is Steven Jensen, who for months had been the assistant director in charge of the Washington field office, one of the bureau’s largest and busiest. He confirmed in a message to colleagues Thursday he had been told he was being fired effective Friday.

-snip-

Jensen did not say whether he had been given a reason, but his appointment to the job in April was sharply criticized by some Trump supporters because he had overseen a domestic terrorism section after the 2021 riot at the Capitol. The FBI has characterized that attack, in which the Republican president’s supporters stormed the Capitol in a bid to halt the certification of election results after he lost to Democrat Joe Biden, as an act of domestic terrorism.
