Ousted FBI leaders file lawsuit against Director Kash Patel, Trump administration

E-mail Print PDF

Kash PatelFBI Director Kash Patel illegally fired top FBI executives on orders from the Trump administration as part of a campaign to turn the nation’s premiere law enforcement agency into a political arm of the White House, a federal lawsuit filed Sept. 10 alleges.

Former acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll Jr. and two other ousted FBI senior officials filed the 68-page lawsuit against Patel and the FBI, Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Justice Department, and the Trump administration. Driscoll, Steven Jensen and Spencer Evans allege in the suit that they were targets of politically motivated retribution and had their constitutional and legal rights violated.

Once he took over at the FBI, they allege, “Patel’s actions stood in stark contrast to his sworn testimony during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee. There, he assured the Committee and the country that ‘all FBI employees will be protected against political retribution.’” The FBI, Justice Department and White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment from USA TODAY.
