12 Ex-FBI Agents Sue Trump Admin, Claim They Were Fired For Kneeling During George Floyd Protests

12 Ex-FBI Agents Sue Trump Admin, Claim They Were Fired For Kneeling During George Floyd Protests Twelve former FBI agents have filed a federal civil lawsuit in Washington, D.C., alleging they were unlawfully fired during the second Trump administration for kneeling in 2020 to prevent unrest after George Floyd’s death. The agents say they were dismissed by FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi for being perceived as “not affiliated with President Trump.” The lawsuit claims they lacked proper riot gear, acted to de-escalate tensions, and were later targeted for political reasons. This case joins other lawsuits accusing Patel of partisan retaliation, including actions against senior FBI officials and agents tied to Capitol riot reviews. Watch
