The prosecutors were unceremoniously given the ax on Friday by the Justice Department, more than half a dozen current and former officials familiar with the dismissals confirmed

The Department of Justice has reportedly fired at least three career prosecutors who worked on cases against January 6 rioters. The prosecutors included two supervisors who oversaw the sweeping DOJ case against the pro-Trump mob that stormed the Capitol in early 2021, as well as a third attorney, the Associated Press reports.

Among those dismissed were two attorneys who supervised Jan. 6 prosecutions in Washington and a line attorney who prosecuted cases originating from the riot.
