Now Veltri, the FBI’s special agent in charge, has been forced out in an escalating purge by senior officials in the Department of Justice who took over the agency after Trump was sworn in as president for a second term last month.

Veltri, like about a dozen high-ranking FBI officials in Washington, D.C., and in field offices around the country, was given an ultimatum: retire, resign or be fired by Monday. Veltri, 50, chose to resign on Friday, according to several sources familiar with his departure.

Veltri ran one of the FBI’s biggest field offices in the country, with more than 400 special agents in the Southern District of Florida. During his nearly two-year tenure, his office gained attention for not only investigating the documents case, but the attempted assassination of Trump during his re-election campaign in September and developer Sergio Pino’s alleged hiring of hit teams to kill his wife. Pino ended up killing himself when FBI agents went to his Cocoplum home in Coral Gables to arrest him in July.
