Officials with Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) were seen at the Federal Bureau of Investigation headquarters in Washington, DC Tuesday, following reports employees involved in Jan. 6 cases could be terminated amid the Trump admin’s efforts to clean house.
On Tuesday, CNN reported the FBI had turned over more than 5,000 employees’ information to the Justice Department, adding from anonymous “people familiar with the situation” that:
…[O]fficials dispatched by Elon Musk have been seen at FBI headquarters. Musk has headed up efforts by President Donald Trump’s newly formed Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.
“More than 5,000 employee details were submitted, including employee ID numbers, job titles and their role in the January 6 investigations, sources said, but not their names. There are more than 13,000 agents and 38,000 total FBI employees,” CNN added.
The DOGE officials, tasked with tackling government fraud, waste and abuse, were presumably collecting the employees’ information after Trump signaled a purge of numerous Bureau employees last week, requesting the resignation or termination of top senior officials in several cities, including Miami, Philadelphia, Washington, New Orleans and Las Vegas, in addition to firing the heads of 20 FBI field offices.
News that DOGE had shown up at FBI HQ was celebrated on X after the agency was credited with shuttering the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
The shakeup has sent shockwaves throughout the intelligence community, with Acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll – who was recently appointed by Trump to head the agency while Kash Patel undergoes the nomination process – in the crosshairs after he initially refused to turn over docs to DOGE.
“We understand that this request encompasses thousands of employees across the country who have supported these investigative efforts,” Driscoll said in an email to the DOJ, adding, “I am one of those employees.”
Top New York FBI field agent James E. Dennehy also vowed to defy Trump’s attempts to purge the agency, saying in a statement he and other employees, writing, “Today, we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own, as good people are being walked out of the F.B.I. and others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and F.B.I. policy.”
“Time for me to dig in,” he added.
Meanwhile, Trump’s FBI purge has also provoked the likes of disgraced ex-FBI Director James Comey, who urged employees earlier this week to “Fight for the rule of law — to protect your country and to keep your jobs.”
Former deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe also told CNN this week the agency was in “utter disarray” and employees were in “terror” due to Trump’s purge.
The Deep State vermin who weaponized the Justice Department against political opponents are fuming at Trump — which means he’s over the target.
