FBI Director Kash Patel reportedly ousted one of the leading special agents who oversaw the Arctic Frost investigation into President Trump.
“Operation Arctic Frost” was a taxpayer-funded witch hunt launched in April 2022 that seized government-issued cell phones belonging to Trump and Pence while conducting a barrage of interviews across the country.
The 2020 Trump alternate electors prompted the Biden DOJ to open the Arctic Frost investigation into Trump and hundreds of other individuals and organizations.
According to MSNBC, Patel is ousting Aaron Tapp, one of the lead agents on Arctic Frost.
Aaron Tapp is a Special Agent in Charge leading the San Antonio Field Office.
