These officials along with former Special Council Jack Smith took action against Trump. A spokesman for the Department of Justice issued a statement on Monday and informed about this.
The statement said that Acting Attorney General James McHeenry had evacuated the authorities for involvement in the investigation against Trump.
McHeenry did not trust the authorities to implement the President’s agenda.
Smith investigated 2 against Trump
Former Special Council Jack Smith started 2 investigations against Trump. In both these cases, impeachment against Trump was brought. The first case was related to an attempt to illegally overturn the presidential elections in 2020.
The second case was related to illegally carrying some documents with him in 2021 after Capital Hill Violence and Trump left the White House. Last week, Trump decided to exclude those who considered them political enemies after taking oath as the President. He also signed this order.
However, which officers of Smith’s team have been evacuated are not clear yet.

On the other hand, Jason Riddle, who was sentenced to a 90 -day jail and a fine of $ 750, also refused to accept the pardon. Radle told New Hampshire Public Radio (NHPR)- Whenever a job-giving company sees my background, he will see the allegations against me. These will be more highlight by accepting the President’s pardon.
