Three former senior FBI officials, who were fired last month, are suing FBI Director Kash Patel and the Trump administration, alleging they were let go as part of a “campaign of retribution” for refusing to demonstrate loyalty to President Trump. Brian Driscoll, the former acting FBI director; Steven Jensen, who ran the Washington field office; and Spencer Evans, who led the Las Vegas field office, are all alleging that Patel chose to follow orders from the White House rather than federal law. According to the lawsuit, Driscoll and other top officials tried to stop attempts to fire and punish FBI officials for working on criminal probes of Trump.
