Fired FBI official: I was asked to take Trump loyalty pledge

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A decorated FBI official who is suing the agency for wrongful dismissal said he was asked to pledge loyalty to Donald Trump during his vetting for the role.

In his first interview since leaving the FBI in 2025, Brian Driscoll, who served as the interim director of the agency under the US president, told CNN he was repeatedly asked about his personal political views while being interviewed for the role.

Mr Driscoll and two other senior FBI officials are suing Kash Patel, the head of the agency, and the FBI over allegations of wrongful termination.

The lawsuit accuses Mr Patel – the subject of recent media reports detailing excessive drinking and erratic behaviour during his tenure as FBI director – of “politicising the FBI over protecting the American people”.

6. After seeing

Patel’s many arrogant, combative and his downright hateful demeanor as he sits before the reigns of power, I’m as nauseous hearing him lie and weave like his master of dismissiveness-djt.

7. What's the big deal? taking a pledge doesn't mean you need to honor it...

Right, Mr Trump?

10. I hope that makes a difference, but I don't think it does

Trump supporters don’t care and probably believe that all Americans should take that pledge
