FBI Ex-agent Strzok settles privacy claim with DOJ for $1.2 million, still sues for firing

Justice Department settled with ex-FBI agent Peter Strzok for $1.2 million over privacy violation claims. Strzok also sues for wrongful termination. An ongoing dispute seeks reinstatement and compensation.

Former FBI agent Peter Strzok has recently settled a privacy violation claim with the Justice Department for a substantial $1.2 million. This development comes after the release of critical text messages between Strzok and former FBI employee Lisa Page regarding ex-President Donald Trump. The settlement marks a pivotal moment in addressing what Strzok's lawyer, Aitan D. Goelman, referred to as the "government's unfair and highly politicized treatment of Pete." It also serves to vindicate the privacy interests of all federal workers.

Legal Action and Ongoing Battle

Despite the resolution of the privacy allegations, Strzok is continuing to pursue legal action against the FBI and the Justice Department, asserting that his dismissal in 2018 contravened his rights to due process and free speech, and was influenced purely by political pressure. While the settlement addresses the privacy violation, the contentious issue of wrongful termination is still the subject of litigation, with Strzok seeking not only vindication but also financial redress, including back pay and other forms of compensation for the loss of his job.
