Senior FBI officials asked to resign or retire by Trump administration, three sources said

FBI leaders firedSenior FBI officials have been asked to resign or retire from top positions within the bureau or be fired, three sources familiar with the moves confirmed to CBS News.

The senior officials at FBI headquarters — including some with executive assistant director status — were responsible for overseeing top priorities for the bureau, for instance, national security, criminal and cyber issues, the sources said.

The changes are part of ongoing scrutiny of FBI leadership, according to the sources.

CNN first reported the news. The FBI declined to comment.

The termination of the high-ranking officials came as President Trump's nominee to lead the FBI, Kash Patel, testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee for his confirmation hearing. Patel sought to assuage concerns that he wouldn't maintain the FBI's independence and would instead follow directions from Mr. Trump to open investigations into his political adversaries.
