U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi just fired at least three Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors who were involved in the prosecution of individuals in relation to the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol protests.

Fox News reports that Bondi fired the individuals last week.

It is the latest move by the administration of President Donald Trump to provide some sort of justice for those targeted by the Biden administration, those who went to the Capitol on that day.

Here's what we know:

The Washington Examiner provides some details about the individuals whom Bondi has fired.

Per the outlet:

Among those dismissed were two attorneys who supervised the Jan. 6 prosecutions in Washington and a line attorney who prosecuted cases originating from the Capitol riot. A letter received by one of the prosecutors was signed by Bondi and did not provide a reason for their removal other than citing “Article II of the United States Constitution and the laws of the United States," according to the Associated Press.

Fox explains, "That phrase is often used in federal employment law to indicate the executive branch’s constitutional authority to appoint or remove personnel."

At the time of this writing, neither President Trump, Bondi, or anyone else from the Trump administration has provided a public statement about the matter.

It is, however, in line with other moves made by Trump and his administration in relation to Jan. 6, 2021.

Background

These are not the first federal government attorneys that the Trump administration has fired.

The Examiner notes that "The Trump administration fired probationary federal prosecutors who worked on the Jan. 6 cases in late January and also terminated prosecutors associated with former special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into President Donald Trump."

In addition to this, Fox notes that Trump also pardoned many of the individuals prosecuted by the Biden administration in relation to Jan. 6, 2021.

The outlet writes:

President Trump has repeatedly referred to the Jan. 6 defendants as political prisoners. On his first day back in the White House in January 2025, he pardoned or commuted the sentences of approximately 1,500 individuals who had been convicted or were incarcerated in connection with the Capitol attack.

Trump did, initially, receive pushback for the move, but most of America seems to have moved on from the Jan. 6 protests.
