Fired FBI agent Peter Strzok, saying he was "stunned and humbled," went on Twitter to thank all his supporters.
His posting came as a GoFundMe page set up for him raised $296,000 as of Tuesday. Strzok did not address the donations in his Twitter posting.
He wrote: "Stunned and humbled by the extraordinary outpouring of support already received from thousands of fellow everyday citizens taking time to fight for our country and our shared American ideals. Thank you."
Strzok was fired on Friday. The Hill noted he had earlier been removed from special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation after his text messages criticizing Trump surfaced. He also played a key role in the agency’s probe of Hillary Clinton’s email use.
Trump praised the firing of Strzok on Monday. But Strzok’s lawyer said the dismissal was not based "on a fair and independent examiner of the facts."
