Trump plans to 'immediately purge' the FBI and DOJ of agents who investigated him: report

Donald Trump has been asking people close to him, including one of his personal attorneys, for the identities of senior FBI agents and Justice Department personnel who've been working on the federal investigations targeting him, Rolling Stone reported.

Sources tell Rolling Stone that Trump said that if he's elected, he'll “quickly” and “immediately” purge the agents from their positions.

Trump has also said that on "day one" of his new term he'll fire FBI Director Christopher Wray -- who he appointed in 2017 during his first term.

Uncovering the names of those working on his cases won't be so easy, as Judicial Watch's Tom Fitton found out after filing a Freedom of Information Act request demanding information about “all employees hired by or detailed to the office of Special Counsel Jack Smith.” In April, the Justice Department denied the request due to it being an “unwarranted invasion of personal privacy” and that it would “interfere with enforcement proceedings.”

“I don’t understand why it is that the names of prosecutors involved in a criminal investigation are secret," Fitton told Rolling Stone. "The Durham report shows it’s important we know who’s working there. We don’t want social security numbers or personal phone numbers, but certainly senior leaders and others who are pursuing this need to be disclosed.”

According to Rolling Stone, Trump plans to completely revamp the federal bureaucracy by installing "extreme loyalists" like Jeffrey Clark and Michael Flynn, who aided Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Trump also has pledged to sign an executive order that would make it easier to hire loyalists and fire nonpartisan civil servants.
