US EditionFBI fires agents who worked on Trump classified document investigation: Reports
At least 10 FBI employees linked to the Mar-a-Lago classified documents probe were fired by Director Kash Patel amid claims of DOJ overreach and internal investigation.
- On February 26, 2026, FBI Director Kash Patel ordered the removal of at least 10 employees tied to a Trump documents probe, as part of broader personnel changes he has led.
- Following reports that the FBI subpoenaed call logs of Kash Patel and Susie Wiles, White House Chief of Staff, Patel said the records were obtained in 2022 and 2023 and called the subpoenas improper and concealed, Reuters reported.
- Sources told multiple outlets that at least 10 employees were dismissed, including agents, analysts and support staff who worked on the investigation led by former Special Counsel Jack Smith.
- The FBI Agents Association condemned the dismissals as unlawful, saying they violate due process and weaken the bureau, while the FBI and a spokesperson for Smith declined comment, and Smith's attorneys called his actions lawful.
- The moves fit a pattern of purges since Trump returned to office, with observers saying Patel has removed employees tied to Jan. 6 and Mar-a-Lago investigations, and The New York Times reporting more dismissals are expected.
