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”.

We’re going to find out that this guy was leading the charge to investigate Trump or to jail the January 6 protestors, or to investigate Catholics or conservative school board members. The article talks about waves of resignations as if its a bad thing.
I believe the “loyalty pledge” as reported during Trump’s first term, when the media was having a hissy fit over it, was all official business remain official business and they demanded no leaks...

WASHINGTON -- WASHINGTON (AP) — A senior FBI official who served as acting director in the first weeks of the Trump administration and resisted demands to turn over the names of agents who participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, investigations is being forced out of the bureau, two people familiar with the matter said Thursday.
So this fool was complicit in the J6 riot orchestrated by our government
Trump is old-school New York business. People pledged their loyalty. It’s a different age.
“A decorated FBI official“
F’n British press. This guy was rat operative through and through.
I see absolutely NO problem with that.
A damned shame it’s even necessary but when I was hired by the DoD I had to sign a similar pledge.
Not to the POTUS but to the country due to the nature of the work I would be doing.
So if this guy had a problem with that, he didn’t need to be there in the first place IMO.
Decorated by who - Biden for covering up the Jan 6th entrapment scheme?
Loyalty to the Constitution.
The deep state resents being forced to admit they’re the deep state.
As opposed to what? Any alternative goes down rabbit holes which are prosecutable.
They should all have to take a loyalty oath.
He’s a covert ops guy, and Jan6 participant. He was decorated along with Richard Levine.
I wonder what else didn’t happen
Based on the corruption in the FBI under Biden and Obama, this is not a bad idea. Remember, Brennan just said he has an army of his acolytes still in the FBI, CIA and DOJ.
I'm not exactly sure the reason for outrage? To be outraged means you ain't too smart in the first place.
Driscoll was appointed by Trump. Political appointees serve at the pleasure of the President, and they don’t have Civil Service protection. Patel had no obligation to keep him.
When you don't comply with legitimate orders, you're gone. It's called insubordination.
OMG. He looks like one of the two queerdo dance choreographers in the original Producer movie.
