The FBI agent who headed up the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s unauthorized email server and was eventually booted off the special counsel’s investigation into Donald Trump over a series of overtly anti-Trump messages is now suing the bureau and the Department of Justice for what he says is wrongful termination.

“In a lawsuit filed on Tuesday, Strzok excoriates the Justice Department and FBI for their handling of his dismissal over a trove of text messages he wrote to a colleague that were critical of Trump,” Politico reported Tuesday. “Strzok accuses the president of inappropriately bullying law enforcement officials deciding his fate, raises questions about why his texts were leaked to the media and lambastes the administration for only defending its employees’ free speech rights when they are praising Trump.”
