David Sundberg, the assistant director in charge of the FBI Washington Field Office, was notified Thursday that he was going to lose his job and is preparing to leave the bureau, according to two senior law enforcement sources — the latest step in an unprecedented purge of top executives at FBI headquarters as well as leadership in FBI field offices across the country.
The Trump Administration informed several senior FBI officials, promoted by former director Christopher Wray, that they were to resign, retire or would be fired, according to multiple sources inside and outside the agency.
Already, the lawyers in the Department of Justice who worked on special counsel Jack Smith’s lawfare cases against Trump and been relieved of their duties, and FBI agents who worked on those cases now also are concerned and “are on edge.”
