WASHINGTON (TNND) — Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly fired on Saturday at least 20 prosecutors and support staff who assisted former Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigations into the Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol and President Donald Trump's handling of classified documents.

Sources familiar with the matter told ABC News that some of the staff were identified through the Justice Department's "Weaponization Working Group," created by Bondi in February hours after she was sworn in, and may not have had a significant role in driving the prosecutions themselves and were support staff, litigation assistants and U.S. Marshals.

The group was created to scrutinize the work of Smith, who charged Trump in two criminal cases, New York Attorney General Letitia James, who won a $454 million civil fraud judgment against Trump and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's hush money case.

"These steps are required because, as President Trump pointed out following his second inauguration, "[t]he prior administration and allies throughout the country engaged in an unprecedented, third-world weaponization of prosecutorial power to upend the democratic process," the memo read in part.

The firings follow Bondi laying off other federal prosecutors in June who worked on cases against Jan. 6 rioters, saying they were “removed from federal service effective immediately.”

On Friday, the State Department fired more than 1,300 employees as part of the Trump administration's reorganization plan after the Supreme Court lifted a district court injunction that halted the administration’s plans to restructure and reduce the size of the federal workforce.

Recently, Bondi has been under fire after the Department of Justice said in a memo that Jeffrey Epstein, the financier charged with trafficking minors for sex, died by suicide and without a list of his alleged clients.

A thorough investigation led members of the FBI to conclude that Epstein killed himself in a New York City jail cell without leaving any documents showing who used his alleged services, Axios reported.

The news led to rumors about FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino allegedly taking a day off work -- and possibly quitting his job -- because he's supposedly angry with Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Jeffrey Epstein files controversy.
