US Edition3 FBI agents fired after investigating Trump file class action suit alleging ‘retribution campaign’
The class action seeks reinstatement for three agents fired amid a broader purge linked to the Arctic Frost probe into Trump, targeting at least 50 agents since Jan. 2025.
- On Tuesday, three FBI agents sued to regain their positions, alleging they were illegally punished for participating in an investigation into President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn his 2020 election defeat.
- The lawsuit names FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi as defendants, accusing them of orchestrating a "retribution campaign" targeting agents involved in Trump investigations.
- Michelle Ball, Jamie Garman, and Blaire Toleman were fired last fall without cause after 14 years of "exemplary and unblemished" service, receiving no notice of charges.
- Seeking class action status, the filing could represent at least 50 agents terminated since Jan. 20, 2025, adding to mounting court challenges against a personnel purge by Patel.
- While Patel and Bondi claim the agents weaponized federal law enforcement, plaintiff lawyer Dan Eisenberg argues the lawsuit reaffirms "fundamental constitutional protections" for FBI employees.
