The FBI has ousted former acting director Brian Driscoll and an agent involved in the prosecution of January 6th Capitol rioters, with more removals expected in the coming days. Driscoll, along with several other officials, were pushed out of their positions due to unspecified reasons according to CBS News.

This purge comes as the FBI continues to face criticism for its handling of the Capitol riot investigation. The bureau has been under scrutiny for its alleged failures to prevent the violence that took place on January 6th, as well as its efforts to identify and prosecute those responsible.

The removal of Driscoll and the agent involved in J6 prosecutions is expected to have significant implications for the ongoing investigation, as well as for the future direction of the FBI. The agency has stated that more removals are forthcoming, raising questions about the extent of the restructuring taking place within the bureau.

As the FBI continues to grapple with the fallout from the Capitol riot, the removal of key officials involved in the investigation highlights the challenges facing the bureau and the broader law enforcement community in the wake of January 6th.
