Andrew Weissmann: FBI Official Ousted After Criticizing Trump's Targeting Of Jan. 6th Investigators - Deadline - MSNBC



James Dennehy, the head of the FBI New York office, has been forced into retirement after speaking out against Donald Trump’s push to obtain a list of agents who investigated January 6th crimes. This alarming move raises serious concerns about the politicization of law enforcement and retaliation against those who uphold the rule of law.

Andrew Weissmann joined Deadline: White House with Nicolle Wallace, alongside Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Ressa, to discuss what this means for the future of the FBI and the broader fight to protect democracy. Watch as they break down the implications of this stunning development and what it signals about Trump’s ongoing efforts to undermine accountability. - Aired on 03/03/2025.
