4. Former FBI Agent
Sat Oct 4, 2025, 11:30 AM

Michael Feinberg was the former assistant special agent in charge at the FBI’s Norfolk Field Office.

At the direction of FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, Feinberg was informed that he would not be receiving any promotions and should “prepare [himself] for the likelihood of being demoted.”

Feinberg stated he had never faced “disciplinary review or investigation” and was “not accused of violating any rules or regulations.” He said his “only supposed sin” was his longstanding friendship with Pete Strzok, former deputy assistant director of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division.

He resigned and wrote an OpEd asserting that his case is not unique, that “more and more special agents are driven out of the Bureau on mere suspicion of political unreliability,” a development he warned “should be concerning to all Americans.”
