FBI Director Kash Patel signed the dismissal letter of Jeremy Linton, an agent overseeing dozens of Iran-related investigations, a new lawsuit alleges. Linton was fired on 25 February, three days before US strikes on Iran began.
The complaint, filed in Washington on Thursday, 15 October, says he was unable to hand over active cases or intelligence. He is among nine former FBI employees who allege they were dismissed for working on President Donald Trump's classified documents investigation.
