FBI Fires Roughly 10 Agents Linked to Trump Classified-Docs Probe

The FBI fired roughly 10 agents who worked on the Trump classified-documents probe, with the firings confirmed by the BBC via CBS. The article notes that FBI director Kash Patel’s private phone records were subpoenaed during the investigation (along with Susie Wiles’ records), and that all the fired agents participated in the classified-docs case. The move comes as Special Counsel Jack Smith leads two ongoing investigations related to Trump, and the DOJ/FBI have continued personnel changes since Trump returned to office.

FBI fires at least 10 agents tied to Trump documents probe

At least 10 FBI agents who worked on Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigations into President Trump’s handling of classified records and the Mar-a-Lago documents case were fired.
