Lawyers for the Southern Poverty Law Center say that federal prosecutors capitalized on the informant’s money problems and exposure to indictment to persuade him to assist the government.
The Southern Poverty Law Center’s lawyers said that this informant went far beyond serving as a normal government witness and came to resemble a member of the government’s investigative team.
In court testimony, the agent outlined the willingness of Kash Patel, the F.B.I. director, to take orders from President Trump to investigate his perceived enemies.
The lawsuit also suggests that a motivating factor for the dismissals was the intense scrutiny of the F.B.I. director, Kash Patel, after he went to the Olympics in Milan.
