The Trump administration led a “campaign of retribution” against a group of decorated FBI agents who were seen as opponents of the White House agenda, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday in a Washington, D.C., federal court.
The suit, which names the FBI, Department of Justice, White House, and senior officials like FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi, comes from three senior agents who were fired from the bureau last month. They are seeking reinstatement and declarations that their dismissals violated civil service protections.
