## Resource

Tonight, Anderson's exclusive interview with former acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll. Driscoll had a front row seat to what happened inside the FBI when President Trump took office last January, and long-serving FBI agents and prosecutors at the Department of Justice began to get fired or forced into retirement. Driscoll himself was fired a little more than six months following the inauguration, after 21 years in public service, nearly 18 of them at the FBI. Now Brian Driscoll is speaking out, and along with two other former senior FBI officials is suing Director Patel, the FBI, Justice Department and the administration. Learn more about your ad choices.
