On Monday, former high-ranking bureau officials launched the FBI Support Network to assist current employees facing professional fallout under the new administration.
The group provides legal counsel, mental health resources, and job search assistance to agents they say are being punished for fulfilling their oaths. Organizers specifically cited concerns over retaliatory investigations and the influence of Kash Patel, Donald Trump’s pick to lead the agency. This unprecedented move highlights deep-seated anxiety within the intelligence community about the potential for mass firings or the weaponization of internal discipline.
The nonprofit expects a surge in requests for help as the administration begins its planned overhaul of federal law enforcement.
