A federal judge on Tuesday dismissed a constitutional challenge brought by former FBI agent Peter Strzok related to his 2018 termination after a trove of politically biased comments about individuals he was investigating came to light.

While the full ruling is under seal, Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia publicly released a summary of her ruling, in which she dismissed Strzok’s claims that his First and Fifth Amendment rights had been violated by the termination.
