3 FBI agents fired after investigating Trump file class action suit alleging 'retribution campaign' - Breitbart
Three fired FBI agents are suing to be reinstated, alleging they were illegally punished for investigating Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election.Summary
Three former FBI agents have filed a class action lawsuit seeking reinstatement after being fired last October and November. They claim their terminations were part of a “retribution campaign” orchestrated by FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi, stemming from their involvement in the investigation into President Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. The agents, with 8-14 years of service, argue they were fired without due process or cause.
The lawsuit highlights a broader pattern of personnel changes within the FBI under Patel’s leadership, with dozens of agents ousted for their involvement in Trump-related investigations or perceived disloyalty. It references documents released by Senator Chuck Grassley detailing the investigation, known as Arctic Frost, which included subpoenas for phone records of Republican lawmakers, angering Trump allies.
The agents seek not only their reinstatement but also a court declaration affirming their constitutional rights were violated and potential class action status to include at least 50 other agents terminated since January 20, 2025. The case adds to a growing number of legal challenges concerning the firings of FBI employees, including those who participated in racial justice protests or displayed LGBTQ+ symbols.
