## Resource

Former FBI agents, including the organisation's ex-acting Director, have started a support group for current staff struggling with the increasing politicisation of the bureau. There has been a significant staff exodus under the current FBI chief and Trump ally Kash Patel, with several agents fired, some of whom were linked to investigations concerning Donald Trump and the January 6 riots. And in recent months, some have lodged lawsuits against Patel over their dismissals.
