Two former FBI special agents alleged they were fired last year for their involvement in Operation Arctic Frost, the Biden administration’s investigation into Republicans over alleged fraud in the 2020 presidential election, in a new lawsuit against FBI Director Kash Patel, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and their respective agencies.

The plaintiffs, who go by “John Doe 1” and “John Doe 2” in the federal lawsuit, were unexpectedly terminated by Patel over a five-day period between October and November 2025.
