Trump administration officials are moving to fire FBI agents engaged in investigations involving President Trump, two people familiar with the plans said Friday. It was not clear how many agents might be affected, though scores of investigators were involved in various inquiries involving Trump.

The FBI and Smith's team investigated Trump over his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election and over the holding of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
