The three former agents were seasoned investigators who primarily handled public corruption investigations and were assigned to special counsel Jack Smith's team.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) on Thursday denied a claim that Attorney General Pam Bondi was fired for leaking information to him about a decade-old investigation into his relationship with an alleged Chinese spy.

The announcement follows months of scrutiny over the Justice Department’s handling of files related to Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking investigation.

The lawsuit is among a growing list of court challenges facing the FBI and Justice Department for its personnel purge since Donald Trump retook office.

The Pam Bondi era at the Department of Justice (DOJ) is coming to an end, less than 14 months after it began. President Trump announced Bondi’s departure from the DOJ on Thursday, after she spent her tenure frequently defending the president and overseeing the rollout of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Pam Bondi is the U.S. Attorney General serving under President Donald Trump's second administration. Bondi is the former Florida Attorney General and earned her bachelor's degree in criminal justice from the University of Florida and her law degree from Stetson Law School.

The core of Mr. Trump’s dissatisfaction with the attorney general was apparently her failure to serve his need for revenge against his enemies.

A group of former FBI agents who worked on the investigation into President Trump’s alleged subversion of the 2020 presidential election sued FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi on Tuesday over their dismissals from the bureau.
