JUST IN: FBI Agents Fired Over Their Roles For Targeting Trump in Classified Documents Case Sue to Get Their Jobs Back

The nine former FBI agents fired for their roles in Jack Smith’s classified documents case are suing the FBI and Director Kash Patel for their jobs back.

The disgruntled agents said they were fired without cause.

FBI Director Kash Patel fired the agents in February 2026.

The former agents argued that they never volunteered to work on the “Plasmic Echo” case, but rather were assigned to it because of their roles in counterintelligence.
