The officials were fired after Acting Attorney General James McHenry concluded they "could not be trusted to faithfully implement the President’s agenda."

Only 25% approved of renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America," while 70% disapproved; pardoning the Jan. 6 defendants has 62% disapproval; and ending birthright citizenship gets thumbs-down from 59% of respondents.

President Trump is pressing full steam ahead with an agenda Democrats worry has an increasingly autocratic bent. But right now, there’s not much they can do about it. News emerged late Monday

Several federal prosecutors who worked with former special counsel Jack Smith on criminal investigations related to Trump were fired on Monday

The Justice Department has fired more than a dozen lawyers, involved in criminal investigations into Donald Trump during his campaign for president, sources familiar with the matter confirmed to CNN,

The termination of more than a dozen lawyers who worked with the special counsel, Jack Smith, came hours after the department’s most senior career official was reassigned.

The Trump administration dismissed over a dozen Justice Department lawyers involved in criminal cases against Donald Trump. Acting Attorney General James McHenry justified the firings, citing their roles in prosecuting Trump.

The Justice Department fired officials who worked on the special counsel team that investigated Donald Trump in two separate criminal cases, a spokesman said.

In addition to Thakur, McHenry fired a former prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Miami, Anne McNamara. After prosecuting hundreds of cases in Miami, she joined the Justice Department in Washington and worked on Smith’s team in the documents case against Trump.

Abrupt firings, senior officials demoted, and career employees left reeling -- US President Donald Trump is taking a sledgehammer to a Justice Department he accuses of unjustly prosecuting him.
