WASHINGTON — The FBI has dismissed 10 agents and analysts involved in former special counsel Jack Smith’s classified documents prosecution of President Trump, a spokesperson for the bureau confirmed Thursday.
On Wednesday, it was revealed that the Biden DOJ sent subpoenas to Kash Patel, who now serves as FBI director, and Susie Wiles, now Trump’s White House chief of staff, in 2022 and 2023 as the Republican’s campaign was ramping up.
Patel told Reuters, which first reported on the subpoenas, that agents had sought his phone records “using flimsy pretexts and burying the entire process in prohibited case files designed to evade all oversight.”
“It is outrageous and deeply alarming that the previous FBI leadership secretly subpoenaed my own phone records — along with those of now White House chief of staff Susie Wiles,” the FBI chief said in a statement.
