Three former FBI special agents involved in investigations related to Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election have filed a lawsuit against FBI Director Kash Patel, Attorney General Pam Bondi, the FBI, and the Justice Department, alleging politically motivated wrongful termination. The suit claims that Patel and Bondi led a campaign since early 2025 to remove agents perceived as disloyal based on political biases, with over 50 FBI employees reportedly fired under similar circumstances without due process. The lawsuit seeks class-action status for other dismissed agents and accuses the FBI of violating grand jury secrecy rules, while the government has yet to comment on the litigation.
