The Justice Department is firing "over a dozen" officials who were part of former special counsel Jack Smith's teams that prosecuted President Donald Trump, officials confirmed to ABC News Monday.

Walt Nauta, an aide to President Trump, and Carlos de Oliveira, former property manager at Mar-a-Lago, were charged alongside the president in 2023. They all pleaded not guilty.
