The watchdog office referred the matter to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington, which has been investigating.A Justice Department spokeswoman declined to comment on the lawsuit.
On Tuesday, former FBI agent Peter Strzok also sued. He said he was fired for expressing derogatory opinions about President Donald Trump.
