In a significant leadership shake-up, the Department of Justice has dismissed three senior FBI officials linked to the January 6 Capitol riot probes: former Acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll, Washington Field Office head Steven Jensen, and veteran Special Agent Walter Giardina.
The simultaneous removals mark what insiders describe as an unprecedented restructuring. Driscoll, who confirmed his dismissal, cited disagreements over releasing personnel records related to January 6 cases. Jensen also acknowledged his removal, urging agents to maintain integrity. Giardina’s unexpected exit, after 25 years of service, deepened perceptions of a strategic shift rather than performance-based decisions. DOJ officials stated the changes aim to restore trust and accountability, though critics warn of political motives. With interim leaders pending, the FBI faces a critical and uncertain transition period.
