U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley does not take issue with firings of high-level FBI and Department of Justice officials, he told reporters on Wednesday. But low-level employees following orders should not be held responsible,

Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley says he has no issue with the Trump administration firing FBI agents and Department of Justice personnel who were key in prosecuting those who were involved in the January 6th U.

FBI agents “who simply followed orders and carried out their duties in an ethical manner” while investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol are not at risk of being fired, a top Justice Department official said in a memo to the bureau workforce obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday.
