Fired FBI Agents Testify Before Senate Judiciary Panel On 2020 Election Case

Two former FBI agents, who were fired by President Trump last year, will testify before a Senate Judiciary Committee panel on their involvement in a probe of the 2020 presidential election.

The hearing comes after two ex-agents, who were unnamed, sued the Trump administration after they said they were fired "solely" based on their work on investigations that involved the president, including "Arctic Frost." The suit is the latest to challenge widespread firings at the Justice Department, including one brought by former acting FBI director Brian Driscoll, who resisted firing agents who worked alongside special counsel Jack Smith on Trump’s cases.

It also follows criticism from some Republicans after an unclassified document from the case revealed that the FBI, under former President Biden, analyzed the phone records of nine GOP lawmakers in 2023 during its investigation into Trump's alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
