The Justice Department has fired over a dozen employees involved in prosecuting President Donald Trump, amid reports of efforts to pursue retribution against him. The move comes as part of an effort by the Biden administration to distance itself from the actions of his predecessor's department. Former Attorney General William Barr and former Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen were among those who left their positions or resigned before leaving. The firings are seen as a significant step in efforts to reshape the Trump-era Justice Department.
