In a major shake-up, the FBI known one of its major units as CR15, the same squad supported the investigation of Special Counsel Smith in US President Donald Trump.NBC News reported that the federal public corruption squad was confirmed by three people.CR15 played a central role in FBI’s “Arctic Frost” investigation, which prepared the basis for Smith’s investigation into Smith in efforts to reverse the 2020 election results. The investigation eventually gave birth to one of the two federal cases against Trump, both have been abandoned since their election victory.FBI officials said the agents of CR15 would be re -handed over to other parts of the bureau. A spokesperson said the decision to shut down the CR15 was part of the widespread reorganization of the Washington Field office of the FBI, expecting more changes soon. The bureau stressed that the investigation of public corruption under the new structure would continue.The closure comes at a time when FBI resources are being directed towards immigration enforcement. The region is mainly controlled by American Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which is under the Department of Homeland Security. This decision first follows the cut in the Department of Justice, which reduced the public integrity section significantly which also investigated corruption. Several staff members resigned after refusing to leave the federal corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. A judge later dismissed the case and stopped it from reopening, saying that it would give the government unfairly advantage to the mayor.Stacey Young, founder of justice connection, said, “This is still another indication that it is an open season for political corruption.” “Administration provoked the public integrity section, new to America The DC’s Office of Attorney, and now closing the pre-eminent federal public corruption squad of the FBI. It is not what voters had when they heard, ‘Drought the swamp.’ ,Senator Chak Grassley and Ron Johnson, who investigated the work of CR15, welcomed the closure. Grassley said, “It is good news that I have closed it after exposing the unit to its misconduct.”Trump’s investigation began before starting his 2024 campaign. Although Smith convicted Trump in 2023, the case stopped amid the appeal. Smith’s report stated that Trump said during the January 6, 2021 capital riots “inspired his supporters to acts of physical violence” and deliberately spread the false claims of electoral fraud.
