GOP Senator Urges Trump to Dismiss DOJ Staff Over Investigations

TL;DR Summary
Senator Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) has suggested that President-elect Donald Trump should immediately fire Justice Department employees involved in investigating him, as part of a broader overhaul of the DOJ. This comes amid Trump's ongoing legal battles and his claims of the DOJ being 'weaponized' against him. Schmitt's comments reflect a push among Trump's supporters for retribution against political opponents and those involved in his legal cases, including special counsel Jack Smith. Trump's victory in the election has significant implications for his legal challenges, as the DOJ's policy prevents prosecuting a sitting president.
