FBI fires staff tied to Trump documents probe amid Patel purge

FBI has fired at least 10 agents and staff tied to obtaining phone records of FBI Director Kash Patel and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles as part of the investigation into Donald Trump’s mishandling of classified documents, the latest in a broader purge of bureau personnel associated with Trump investigations. Patel claims the prior FBI leadership secretly subpoenaed his and Wiles’s records, though toll records are typically a routine part of criminal inquiries. The piece also notes Patel’s other controversies, including his use of the FBI jet and a Milan trip, and draws condemnation from the FBI Agents Association over the terminations.

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.

The piece also references Smith’s dual probes and related political and administrative fallout.
