Former FBI Agents Sue Kash Patel, Allege Firing Over Trump Election Probe
•Two former FBI special agents sued director Kash Patel, claiming wrongful termination over their work on the 2020 election investigation.
•The agents, who filed anonymously, allege Patel fired them without a hearing after Trump and his supporters called for their removal.
•They were assigned to the "Arctic Frost" investigation into alleged fake electors, which led to Trump's 2023 indictment.
•The lawsuit seeks reinstatement and asserts their First Amendment and due process rights were violated.
•The agents claim their termination letters bar them from federal employment and have hindered other job prospects due to fear of harming relations with the Trump administration.
