SAN ANTONIO<\/strong> \u2013 The special agent in charge of the FBI\u2019s field office in San Antonio has been fired, according to CNN.<\/a><\/p>\n

Aaron Tapp took over the San Antonio field office in February 2024, according to the FBI<\/a>. Before that, he served as the deputy assistant director in the FBI\u2019s Criminal Investigative Division. <\/p>\n

When he served in that role, Tapp had oversight of probes into President Donald Trump\u2019s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, CNN reported.<\/p>\n

According to CNN, one of the investigations focused on a fake electors scheme known as Artic Frost, in which Trump allies tried to get Trump electors counted as electoral college votes from states that Joe Biden won.<\/p>\n

In the last few weeks, Republican lawmakers have released records<\/a> from the investigation, which includes an analysis of phone records of more than a half dozen GOP lawmakers.<\/p>\n

The data encompassed several days during the week of Jan. 6, 2021, when pro-Trump rioters<\/a> stormed the U.S. Capitol in a bid to halt the certification of the election results.<\/p>\n

KSAT has reached out to the FBI\u2019s San Antonio office for comment but has not heard back. <\/p>\n

Tapp sat down with KSAT last year<\/a> to talk about his top concerns as special agent in charge. <\/p>\n

He is a 22-year veteran of the FBI, according to his biography.<\/a> Before joining the agency, Tapp worked in the financial service industry. <\/p>\n

He earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in accounting from the University of Utah and a master\u2019s in business administration from Utah State University.<\/p>\n
