WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI is forcing out more senior officials, including a former acting director who resisted Trump administration demands to turn over the names of agents who participated in Jan. 6 Capitol riot investigations and the head of the bureau’s Washington field office, according to people familiar with the matter and internal communications seen by The Associated Press.

The basis for the ouster of Brian Driscoll, who led the bureau in the turbulent weeks after President Donald Trump’s inauguration in January, were not immediately clear, but Driscoll’s final day at the FBI is Friday, said the people, who were not authorized to discuss the personnel move by name and spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity.

Former acting FBI director involved in Jan. 6 investigations fired

A senior FBI official who briefly served as acting director at the beginning of President Donald Trump's second term has been fired, two federal law enforcement sources told NBC News.

The official, Brian Driscoll, made headlines when he resisted a Justice Department directive to turn over a list of agents who had worked on Jan. 6 cases.

“This request encompasses thousands of employees across the country who have supported these investigative efforts,” Driscoll wrote in a memo to FBI employees at the time. “I am one of those employees.”

Driscoll, who'd been with the agency for almost 20 years, disclosed his firing in an email to colleagues, which was read to NBC News.
