(Reuters) - Peter Strzok, the FBI agent who came under fire from U.S. President Donald Trump and other Republicans for sending text messages that disparaged Trump during the presidential campaign, filed a lawsuit on Tuesday alleging his termination from the job violated his constitutional rights.
The complaint, filed in federal court in Washington, alleged that Strzok's termination from the intelligence agency last year was a "retaliatory response" to speech protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
