The three former FBI agents who were suddenly released in August reportedly accused their director Kash Patel of the Agency’s policy to please their superiors, including President Donald Trump, in the application filed on Wednesday.
Who are former FBI officials who sued Kaš patel
The court of court was filed on behalf of Brian Driscoll, Steve Jensen and Spencer Evans, three of the five agents who were known to have been released last month.
Among them, Driscoll served as the reigning Director of the FBI during the first month of the second term Trump until the patel took over.
Meanwhile, Steve Jensen is a former assistant director Washington Field and Spencer Evans is the former highest official in the field office in Las Vegas.
What the action claims
According to court proceedings, these three men described their release on August 8 as “unlawful” and demanded that they were restored.
They argued that they were released in the “retribution campaign”, which considered targeted officials to be inadequately loyal, Reuters reported.
The Court claimed that the FBI director Kash said that he was ordered to fire anyone who worked on the criminal proceedings against President Donald Trump, and that his own work depends on their removal.
“The FBI tried to imprison the President in prison and did not forget it,” Patel Discoll said according to court proceedings.
“The patel not only acted illegally, but intentionally decided to prioritize the Politicization of the FBI over the protection of the US people,” the action said, according to the agency.
He added that “his decision to make the country’s national security deteriorated by burning three of the most experienced FBI surgical leaders, each of whom was experts in the prevention of terrorism and reducing violent crime.”
The FBI refused to comment. The White House did not answer immediately to the request for comment.
What were the former FBI officials required
Driscoll tried to protect the FBI employees who investigated people who attacked the American Capitol 6 January 2021, in an unsuccessful effort to overturn Trump’s electoral defeat.
According to reports, Trump had returned to the White House in January 2025, in an extensive retaliation campaign, which also focused on the federal applicant, national security officials and others who returned to the White House in January 2025.
In its statement, the FBI Association stated that most special agents were not allowed to appeal to the personnel measures of the Council of Merit and underlines the need to expand these protection to all employees of the Bureau.
Trump has repeatedly accused criminal proceedings against him of the alleged weapon of the Ministry of Justice of his democratic predecessor Joe Biden.
“Our predecessors have transformed the Ministry of Justice into an injustice Ministry,” Trump told the department at the beginning of this year. “I’m standing in front of you to say today that these days have ended and will never come back,” he added.
