FBI agents involved in Mar-a-Lago docs case removed from offices as Acting FBI head refuses to hand over list of agents on J6 cases: report

According to the Washington Times, over the weekend, whole squads of FBI agents were escorted out of the field offices in New York, Miami, and Washington, DC. The agents in the Miami office were part of the Mar-a-Lago investigation. This comes after Trump tapped Driscoll, a veteran of the FBI, to lead the agency as his pick for FBI Director, Kash Patel, is going through the confirmation process. However, questions have arisen as to whether or not Driscoll will even stay until Patel is confirmed.

On Friday, Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove ordered Driscoll to compile all the names of those FBI agents who were involved "at any time" with the J6 investigations “to determine whether any additional personnel actions are necessary."

The memo to Driscoll added, “These lists should include relevant supervisory personnel in FBI regional offices and field divisions, as well as at FBI Headquarters." Driscoll wrote back to Bove that he was in fact one of those employees involved in the investigation into Trump.

“We understand that this request encompasses thousands of employees across the country who have supported these investigative efforts,” Driscoll wrote. “I am one of those employees, as is acting Deputy Director (Rob) Kissane.”

In a memo, he said was reluctant to compile the list of agents, but put together a list of eight executives that were forced out. After a subsequent request for the broader list, along with information about each employee's involvement, Driscoll refused to do so, according to a source who spoke to the outlet.

The list of names presently includes thousands of FBI agents. “You have a lot of people that were like, ’Oh, I’ll do a couple of misdemeanor arrests. No big deal.’ But they did them, and so those people fully expect to be gone,” one source from the FBI told the Washington Times. “And other people that were working on them may be gone, too, no matter how much work they’ve done.”

There is speculation as to whether or not Driscoll will keep his position, but the FBI informed the outlet that Driscoll is still the acting director.
