FBI探员起诉称，因在唐纳德·特朗普总统第一任期后对其展开调查而遭即时解雇，他们已提起集体诉讼，主张自己被该机构不当解雇。
此次诉讼要求为这三名探员恢复职位，如果诉讼成功，将可能为至少50名曾参与各类特朗普调查、且在类似情况下被解雇的探员打开复职大门。
这些探员表示，司法部长帕姆·邦迪和FBI局长卡什·帕特尔“作为事实证人或代表特朗普的律师，亲身卷入了由FBI职业员工主导的联邦调查”。
“而如今，凭借被任命为联邦执法部门最高职位的身份，被告方正在滥用职权，以求获得在实体审理中未能到手的胜利，”诉讼文件中写道。“用被告自己的话来说，他们的任务就是报复。”
FBI拒绝就此次诉讼置评。

这三名探员称，他们被解雇时未收到明确解释，也没有为自己申辩的机会，他们三人都曾参与2020年大选相关调查，在FBI累计拥有数十年工作经验。
美国司法部还面临其他多起FBI探员提起的诉讼，这些探员称自己因参与过针对特朗普的过往调查，或被认为与总统的执政议程不一致，而遭违宪解雇，成为政治清洗的受害者。
在华盛顿特区联邦法院提起的诉讼中指出，帕特尔和邦迪“上任伊始就编制了FBI雇员名单，将他们视为‘敌人’——理由包括被分配的调查工作、私人言论、个人友谊、固定特质或其他荒谬的标准”，并“在未遵循正当程序的情况下，陆续公开开展大规模解雇行动”。
探员们还表示，根据FBI政策，他们“必须接受基于机构需求下达的所有合法任务”，“不得因个人或政治偏好拒绝合法指派的工作”。
针对特朗普离任后留存机密文件以及他试图篡改2020年大选结果的调查，最终促成了由特别检察官杰克·史密斯牵头的两起针对这位前总统的刑事案件。
一名由特朗普任命的联邦法官驳回了机密文件相关案件，理由是史密斯的特别检察官任命无效，部分原因是他未获得参议院确认。特朗普在2024年总统大选获胜后，史密斯撤回了与大选相关的诉讼。
FBI agents who worked on Trump election probe sue, saying they were unjustly fired

FBI agents who say they were summarily fired for investigating President Donald Trump following his first term have filed a class-action lawsuit arguing they were improperly dismissed from the agency.
The lawsuit demands the three agents be reinstated and could, if successful, open the door for at least 50 other agents who were part of the various Trump investigations and fired under similar circumstances to also rejoin the agency.
The agents say that both Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel “were personally embroiled, as fact witnesses or attorneys representing (Trump), in investigations brought by the FBI, through the FBI’s career employees.”
“And now, by virtue of presidential appointment to the pinnacle of federal law enforcement, Defendants are abusing their positions to claim victories that eluded them on the merits,” the lawsuit says. “Defendants’ mission – in their own words – is retribution.”
The FBI declined to comment on the lawsuit.

The three agents say they were fired without clear explanation or the ability to respond and had each worked on the 2020 election case, with decades of experience at the FBI between them.
The Justice Department faces several other lawsuits by FBI agents who say they were unconstitutionally dismissed from the agency as part of a political purging of those who worked on past investigations into Trump or who are believed to not align with the president’s agenda.
Patel and Bondi, the lawsuit filed in federal court in Washington, DC, says, “began their terms of office by compiling lists of FBI employees whom they perceived to be ‘enemies’ — due to assigned investigative work, private comments, personal friendships, immutable characteristic, or other absurd measure — and publicly initiating mass firings on a rolling basis, without due process.”
The agents also said they were required by FBI policy “to accept all lawful assignments based on the needs of the FBI” and were “not permitted to refuse lawful assignments based on personal or political preferences.”
Investigations into Trump’s retention of classified material after leaving office and his effort to change the results of the 2020 election culminated in two criminal cases against the former president led by special counsel Jack Smith.
The classified materials case was dismissed by a federal judge appointed by Trump who found that Smith’s appointment as special counsel was invalid because, in part, he was not confirmed by the Senate. Smith withdrew the election-related case after Trump won the 2024 presidential election.
