A veteran
FBI agent who wrote derogatory text messages about
Donald Trump filed a lawsuit Tuesday charging that the bureau caved to "unrelenting pressure" from the president when it fired him. The suit from Peter Strzok also alleges he was unfairly punished for expressing his political opinions, and that the
Justice Department violated his privacy when it shared hundreds of his text messages with reporters. The complaint, which names as defendants Attorney General
William Barr and FBI Director Chris Wray, revisits a political drama that was seized on by conservative critics of special counsel Robert Mueller's
Russia investigation as proof that the bureau was biased against Trump.
