Former Trump National Security Council official Kash Patel filed a lawsuit Monday against FBI Director Chris Wray and former Trump Justice Department officials, accusing them of violating his Fourth Amendment right to protection from unreasonable searches and seizures when they tried to obtain Patel’s personal records.
The FBI and Justice Department officials named in the lawsuit obtained a subpoena in November 2017 for Patel’s “personal information as part of a politically motivated investigation,” and Google handed over responses to the subpoena the following month, the lawsuit obtained by Just the News states.
Patel said he was completely unaware of the subpoena until December 2022, when Google notified him about it.
The defendants, which include then-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, “improperly and politically targeted Mr. Patel’s personal records because of his official position and actions in furtherance of the United States House of Representatives’ lawful investigation into the Department of Justice’s handling of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation,” the lawsuit also states.
