'Past his prime' GOP senator Grassley caught up in FBI lawsuit: report

By Tom Boggioni
Published May 7, 2026 10:44 AM ET

Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley (R), the powerful chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has been implicated in a lawsuit filed by two FBI agents who were terminated by Director Kash Patel for their work on special counsel Jack Smith's investigation of Donald Trump.

According to reporting from The Hill, the 92-year-old Republican played a significant role in precipitating the agents' firings by releasing unredacted materials about the criminal investigation into Trump — materials that exposed the agents to public backlash and eventual removal from the bureau.

While the suits don't name Grassley as a defendant, they single out his actions as a factor in the agents' alleged wrongful termination. The lawsuits assert the agents were fired solely based on their assignment to Smith's investigation team — work that the FBI now characterizes as "somehow hostile partisan acts."
