About a dozen Justice Department employees who worked for former special counsel Jack Smith on his investigation of Donald Trump are being fired.

Top House Democrats say that the way in which Jack Smith's staffers were fired "very likely violated longstanding federal laws."

EXCLUSIVE: The Justice Department is firing more than a dozen key officials who worked on Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team to prosecute President Trump, Fox News Digital has learned.

Could the dropping of charges clear the way for the release of the special counsel’s report on the prosecution?

Meanwhile, congressional Democrats are pushing the attorney general to drop the charges against Trump’s co-defendants to cinch the dosser’s release.

President Donald Trump had been charged with crimes by special counsel Jack Smith in cases related to the 2020 election and classified documents.

The request seeks to drop obstruction charges against two former Trump co-defendants charged with obstructing justice in the classified documents case.

The Trump Justice Department says it has fired more than a dozen employees who worked on criminal investigations into President Donald Trump.

The Department of Justice, now under new leadership, has moved to drop its appeal of the classified documents case against Donald Trump's co-defendants.

Trump correctly criticized the Biden administration’s weaponization of government. He must now choose whether to allow the Democrats’ wrongful lawfare against him to naturally end.

The department’s motion to drop the case was signed by Hayden O’Byrne, who was appointed as the “interim” U.S. Attorney in Miami on Monday at the same time as the firings. O’Byrne, a member of the conservative Federalist Society, was hired as a prosecutor by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in 2019.
