Patel ousts senior FBI agents linked to Trump probes, say sources

Kash Patel has dismissed multiple senior FBI agents linked to Trump investigations, including those involved in the Mar-a-Lago search, amid claims of retribution and political bias.

  • FBI Director Kash Patel removed senior agents linked to Trump investigations, including special agents in charge in Atlanta and New Orleans, the acting assistant director in New York, and six Miami agents tied to the Mar‑a‑Lago search.
  • Hours after former special counsel Jack Smith's testimony, Patel and his associates told a conservative news outlet they would remove officials who authorized payments to confidential sources.
  • According to interviews with 45 current and former FBI employees, sources said Patel prioritized social‑media strategy over investigative procedure and berated field leaders during calls.
