Three former FBI officials sued Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI director Kash Patel Wednesday, claiming they were fired on orders from the White House and Justice Department as retaliation for their work.
The big picture: The lawsuit alleges that Patel told Brian Driscoll, the former acting FBI director who was later forced out, that there was nothing that could be done to stop the firings because "the FBI tried to put the President in jail and he hasn't forgotten it."
