Representative Robert Garcia says that the president is building a "private army" with the January 6 protesters he pardoned.

Summary

Rep. Robert Garcia accused Trump of “building himself a private army” by pardoning 1,500 January 6 rioters and allegedly purging FBI agents involved in prosecuting them.

A leaked DOJ memo suggests senior FBI officials were ordered to retire or be fired, with further terminations possible. Trump defended the pardons, calling the rioters “patriots” and victims of injustice.

Democrats warn that Trump is empowering extremist groups and undermining law enforcement.

The fate of FBI officials targeted for removal remains uncertain as Democrats vow to resist the purge.
