Former assistant director in charge of the FBI Washington field office<\/a> Dave Sundberg has mounted a bid for U.S. Congress, accusing President Donald Trump’s administration of weaponizing the Justice Department.<\/p>\n

The U.S. House hopeful accused the administration of firing him while sweeping out people who wouldn’t execute the president’s political aims.<\/p>\n

“In January 2025, I was fired by the Trump Administration as part of a retaliatory purge against those who refused to carry out the President\u2019s political agenda. While they took my job, they cannot take my oath,” he declared in a Facebook post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a press release on his campaign website, Sundberg asserted, “I have watched as the White House has weaponized the Department of Justice<\/a> against political opponents and used the National Guard to intimidate our own citizens, all while seizing levers of power that are supposed to be balanced across government.”<\/p>\n

“We are reaching a point where we may not recover from this. I am running to ensure Congress becomes a co-equal branch of government again and does not abdicate its responsibility to push back,” he declared.<\/p>\n

Sundberg is running in the Democratic primary in Maryland’s 5th Congressional District,<\/a> which is an open contest because Democratic Rep. Steny Hoyer announced last month that he will not seek another term.<\/p>\n

In a statement provided to Fox News Digital, Republican National Committee spokeswoman Emma Hall said, “Yet another out-of-touch Democrat campaign built on obsessively attacking President Trump and his overwhelmingly popular agenda, without any plans of their own to lower costs\u00a0and help working families.”<\/p>\n
