Kristian Saucier, the Navy sailor sent to prison for taking photos aboard a nuclear submarine, will file a lawsuit against former President Barack Obama, former FBI Director James Comey, the Justice Department, and others. Saucier’s lawyer told Fox News on June 4 that he will argue that the law was applied unequally to Saucier, since former State Secretary Hillary Clinton was let off the hook for much more serious transgressions.

Saucier was pardoned by President Donald Trump in March. “I honestly believe that the systems that went after me were put in place to protect people like me, until I was run through the wringer,” Saucier told Fox News on March 10, one day after he was pardoned.
