Attorney General Pam Bondi has fired several Department of Justice (DOJ) employees who worked with former special counsel Jack Smith on two criminal investigations into President Donald Trump 's possession of classified documents and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, Reuters reported on Friday.

Joseph Tirrell had served in the position since July 2023 and advised Bondi and other officials on how to avoid and deal with conflicts of interest.
