> FBI firing senior officials at odds with Trump administration
> Two senior FBI officials, including one who initially resisted the Trump administration’s effort to gather the names of agents who worked on cases related to the US Capitol attack on January 6, 2021, are being fired, multiple sources tell CNN.
> Brian Driscoll, who was acting FBI director in the weeks before now-Director Kash Patel was confirmed, is being dismissed, sources said. Steve Jensen, the acting director in charge of the Washington Field Office, is also being fired, according to two separate sources.
> The administration is also firing other agents in the bureau this week who were perceived to be opposed to Trump in the past, according to three sources familiar with the agency’s actions.
> The FBI and its Washington field office declined to comment. CNN has reached out to the New York field office for comment.
> Driscoll and Jensen notified their colleagues Thursday, according to letters obtained by CNN, with Driscoll writing that he had not been given a reason for his firing.
> “Last night I was informed that tomorrow will be my last day in the FBI,” Driscoll wrote. “I understand that you may have a lot of questions regarding why, for which I currently have no answers. No cause has been articulated at this time.”
> “Our collective sacrifices for those we serve is, and will always be, worth it. I regret nothing,” Driscoll wrote. “You are my heroes, and I remain in your debt.”
> Jensen told his colleagues he intended “to meet this challenge like any other I have faced in this organization, with professionalism, integrity, and dignity.”
> He encouraged his colleagues to “never waver in your resolve to answer the call to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution.”
