Senator Dick Durbin, the position Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, highly condemned the terminations at the FBI and Justice Department.
“The Trump Administration’s purge of dozens of DOJ and FBI officials involved in investigating Donald Trump and the January 6 rioters is a major blow to the FBI and Justice Department’s integrity and effectiveness,” Durbin claimed.
“This is a brazen assault on the rule of law that also severely undermines our national security and public safety,” he claimed. “Unelected Trump lackeys are carrying out widespread political retribution against our nation’s career law enforcement officials.”
