The firings focus on personnel with connections to former special counsel Jack Smith’s probe of Trump and an earlier FBI investigation known as "Arctic Frost."

Several agents were fired this week for having the bad luck of getting assigned to investigations into Donald Trump.

The FBI Agents Association on Tuesday lambasted FBI Director Kash Patel, after the bureau fired, unfired and then re-fired several FBI agents who had worked on cases targeting U.S. President Donald Trump or his allies.

The FBI has continued its personnel purge, forcing out additional agents and supervisors tied to the federal investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election despite efforts by Washington’s top federal prosecutor to try to stop at least some of the terminations.

The two suspects, Logan D. Patterson, 18, and Dominick F. Cardoza, 20, each face a charge of conspiracy to damage by fire or explosive, which carries a maximum five-year federal prison sentence, according to the Massachusetts U.S. Attorney’s office.

Two men were arrested by the FBI on Tuesday morning in connection with an explosion that went off in Harvard Medical School over the weekend. The pair, Logan David Patterson, 18, and Dominick Frank Cardoza, 20, face charges of conspiracy to damage by means of fire or an explosive, per the charging document.

DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro intervened to reverse the firings of at least four FBI agents axed in the latest Trump administration purge at the bureau, according to multiple sources familiar with the developments this week.

The piling allegations against Patel are laced with irony. Former FBI directors James Comey and Chris Wray both faced criticism for improper use of government planes for personal reasons—and Patel was a particularly vocal critic of Wray in 2022.
