US Edition3 fired FBI officials sue Patel, saying he bowed to Trump administration’s ‘campaign of retribution’
Three former FBI officials allege they were dismissed due to political loyalty demands amid investigations involving former President Trump, seeking reinstatement and back pay in federal court.
- Three high-ranking FBI officials were fired last month in a campaign of retribution by Director Kash Patel, who bowed to political pressure from the Trump administration.

- The lawsuit alleges that Patel's decision to fire the agents degraded national security by firing experienced leaders who were experts in preventing terrorism and reducing violent crime.
