Left-Wing Org Threatens Lawsuit Over Effort To Clear Out FBI Officials On Jan 6, Trump Cases

A left-wing organization behind several other legal challenges to President Donald Trump’s early actions is threatening to sue over efforts to remove career officials at the Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI, the group warned in a Sunday letter.

The organization, whose founder backed efforts to impeach President Donald Trump during his first administration, has also backed lawsuits opposing Trump’s order on birthright citizenship and challenging the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Decisions to fire career DOJ and FBI officials violate employees’ due process rights, State Democracy Defenders Fund wrote in a Feb. 2 letter to Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove.

“Moreover, if information about these individuals is made publicly available, it also threatens the safety of dedicated career public servants and potentially of their innocent family members,” the letter states. “The continuation of this course of action is a direct assault on the national security of the American citizens you have sworn to faithfully and unselfishly serve.”
