The firings are part of a broader personnel purge under the leadership of Director Kash Patel, a Trump appointee who, over the last year, has pushed out dozens of employees who either contributed to investigations of the president or who were perceived as not in alignment with the administration's agenda. The Justice Department has engaged in similarly sweeping firings of prosecutors since Trump took office last year.

This is a tough one for the FBI; one of the caveats in the Law Congress passed and Trump was forced to sign includes the ability to redact and or not disclose files of someone who is under investigation.

SO, damned if they do and damned if they don't, apparently.
