Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said Thursday that the Department of Justice and FBI have undergone significant personnel changes, with approximately 200 employees departing from the DOJ following cases involving President Trump.

Blanche, who previously served as a defense attorney for Trump before joining the administration, described the departures as having "cleaned house" at the federal law enforcement agencies. The comment came during remarks about staffing changes at the Justice Department.

The departures reportedly include agents and personnel who worked on cases related to Trump during the previous administration. Blanche characterized the personnel moves as part of broader changes within the department's leadership and staff.

The Justice Department has not provided additional details about the specific roles of those who departed or the timeline of the personnel changes. The FBI has also not commented on the scope of staffing adjustments at the bureau.

Blanche's appointment as Deputy Attorney General represents a significant role change, as he transitioned from defending Trump in legal proceedings to serving as the second-highest official at the Justice Department under the new administration.
