Former FBI agent Peter Strzok thanked Americans who have shown him support since his abrupt firing from the bureau, as a fundraiser to help him with legal fees and lost income passed $250,000 in less than 24 hours.

“Stunned and humbled by the extraordinary outpouring of support already received from thousands of fellow everyday citizens taking time to fight for our country and our shared American ideals. Thank you,” he wrote in a tweet.
