Ex-FBI Agents sue over Trump-era firings, pointing to CPAC remarks by DOJ official

Three former FBI agents who helped prosecute Trump-era cases filed a class-action suit claiming their firings were illegal and politically motivated, citing Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s CPAC remarks that the FBI had been 'cleaned house' and that no agents involved with the prosecutions remained. The suit names Kash Patel and Pam Bondi, alleges due-process violations and reputational harm from public statements, and argues the firings were part of a broader effort to target Trump-related investigations.
