Nine former FBI employees sued the bureau on Thursday, saying they were unlawfully terminated merely for working on former special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into President Trump’s retention of classified records after his first term in the White House.
The former special agents, intelligence analysts and staff operation specialists worked on counterintelligence investigations and were fired over the course of two days in February 2026 — just as the United States and Israel were set to begin military strikes against Iran.
The nine plaintiffs represent the latest in a growing number of former FBI agents and other personnel who have filed lawsuits against the Justice Department and the bureau after they were abruptly terminated. Many of the fired employees worked on matters that displeased Mr. Trump and his allies.
The plaintiffs “were unlawfully terminated not for any cause or any legitimate reason, but only to satisfy the President’s personal vendetta,” the lawsuit alleged.
“The firings did not follow any internal investigation or disciplinary process within the FBI, and Plaintiffs were not given any notice, a hearing, or an opportunity to appeal. Instead, Patel claimed to rely solely upon ‘Article II’ to support the firings,” the suit said, referring to FBI Director Kash Patel and Article II of the Constitution, which lays out the president’s executive powers.
The 70-page lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and names the FBI, Patel, Attorney General Todd Blanche and the Department of Justice as defendants. CBS News has reached out to the Justice Department and FBI for comment.
FBI agents executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago in August 2022 and allegedly recovered more than 100 documents with classified markings. In 2023, Smith’s office indicted Mr. Trump on more than three dozen charges related to his alleged retention of the records and efforts to obstruct the government’s attempts to get them back. The charges were ultimately dismissed by the federal judge overseeing the case, who said Smith was unlawfully appointed special counsel. The Justice Department formally abandoned its appeal of the ruling after Mr. Trump won the 2024 election.
Thursday’s lawsuit cites public comments made by top Justice Department officials and the president directed toward the plaintiffs as evidence the firings were motivated by political animus…..
Note….
If the next President IS a Democrat?
Will hundreds of Federal Employees fired for ‘Political Retribution’ reason be brought back to work?
Would those same FBI officals get a second crack at investigating Donald Trump after he leaves the Presidency AGAIN?
(Trump WOULD do this in a heartbeat I’d guess)
