3 FBI agents fired after investigating Trump file class action suit alleging 'retribution campaign'
Yahoo • • nation
Key Points:
- Three former FBI agents have filed a class action lawsuit seeking reinstatement, alleging they were unlawfully fired for investigating President Donald Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
- The agents, fired last fall after years of service, claim their dismissals were part of a politically motivated purge led by FBI Director Kash Patel targeting those involved in Trump-related investigations or deemed disloyal to his agenda.
- The lawsuit implicates Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi, accusing them of orchestrating the firings despite personal legal entanglements connected to Trump, and alleges political interference in federal law enforcement.
- The agents seek reinstatement, a court ruling affirming their rights were violated, and class action status to potentially restore jobs to at least 50 other agents fired since January 2025.
- This legal action adds to a broader pattern of recent FBI personnel removals, including agents involved in investigations of Trump’s classified documents and others dismissed over political or social issues.
