Jack Smith’s Secret Orders Targeting Patel and Wiles Should Alarm Us All

  • FBI Director Kash Patel fired at least 10 agents involved in subpoenaing his and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles' phone records during investigations in 2022 and 2023 while they were private citizens.
  • Special Counsel Jack Smith secretly obtained phone metadata of Patel and Wiles during investigations related to President Donald Trump's handling of classified documents, which raised constitutional concerns and accusations of political targeting.
  • The FBI recorded a 2023 call between Wiles and her attorney with the attorney's consent but without Wiles' knowledge, raising ethical, legal, and constitutional questions including concerns about attorney-client privilege.
  • The FBI Agents Association condemned the firings as unlawful, stating they violated due process, removed critical expertise, destabilized the workforce, and undermined trust in leadership.
