on Monday fired a number of officials involved in the now-terminated federal prosecutions of President Donald Trump.

The firings come a week after Trump was sworn in for a second, non-consecutive term in the White House.

“Today, Acting Attorney General James McHenry terminated the employment of a number of DOJ officials who played a significant role in prosecuting President Trump,” a DOJ official told NBC News.

“In light of their actions, the Acting Attorney General does not trust these officials to assist in faithfully implementing the President’s agenda,” that official said. “This action is consistent with the mission of ending the weaponization of government.”
