  • The FBI subpoenaed phone-call records of Kash Patel and Susie Wiles from 2022–2023, Patel told Reuters on Feb 25, 2026.
  • Investigators routinely subpoenaed toll records to establish timelines, and such records can be obtained via subpoena without a judge's approval, as Patel said during the probe led by Special Counsel Jack Smith in November 2022.
  • Patel said investigators obtained `toll records` showing timing and recipients, extended into Susie Wiles' campaign role, and the FBI filed them under `Prohibited` classification he recently removed.

  • Critics note the disclosures involve current top officials and may impact congressional oversight and public trust, with Patel calling the subpoenas `It is outrageous and deeply alarming`.
