The dismissals come as the FBI director said his phone records were obtained by federal authorities during the Biden administration in connection with investigations into Trump.
The FBI, at the direction of Director Kash Patel, has fired at least a half-dozen agents tied to the 2022 search of President Donald Trump’s home in Florida, six people familiar with the matter told NBC News.
Three of the sources said at least 10 employees overall were dismissed, from support personnel to agents and supervisors.
The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Trump had faced federal charges in two criminal cases: one over his handling of classified documents found at his Mar-a-Lago estate and another in connection with his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. A Trump-appointed judge dismissed the classified documents case, while Jack Smith moved to drop the election case when he was special counsel after Trump won a second term in 2024. Trump pleaded not guilty in each case and denied any wrongdoing.
that’s 5 people with skill and experience no longer beholden to the federal gov
I feel like we might be in hell
That’s not very Kash money of you.
Kash patel taking over for the 99 and 2000
Thus reducing the amount of competent agents.
He fired ppl for doing the job they were assigned to do. Okay…?
These people have no idea how to do anything.
They know exactly what they’re doing
They’re establishing the fact that the current administration is above the law, and even lawful orders to investigate them will be severely punished
Methinks they doth protest too much
It’s increasingly obvious that the classified dicuments thing wasn’t just an oversight or even merely an attempt to profit, but a significant and almost certainly treasonous criminal act with sufficient evidence that they have no hope of fighting it, so can only try to bury it.
Trump kept nuclear secrets in his bathroom. Supposedly the same nuclear secrets that he is now selling to the middle east.
Treasonous POS. I hope they eventually hang him. I hope he gets the Mussolini treatment too.
That’s super normal and not targeted.
They know too much. I wonder if they found videos of Trump fucking kids? Let’s be real… Yes they did find these.
I feel awful for these agents. Nobody should have to watch that.
If they found something and are keeping their mouths shut then they are complicit
They foudn evidence of treason, but if they say anything, they will be charged with treason.
Come on, he was selling state secrets out of his bathroom.
I wouldn’t feel sympathy for anyone who watched that and kept it to themselves. None. Didn’t Trump himself say anything done in defense of your country is no crime? Not that that isn’t bullshit, but in this case? Yeah. Leaking that shit is no crime and is the only moral thing to do.
Fuck everyone who saw that and didn’t at least leak anonymously.
That’s a mighty fine distraction. We’re never going to forget.
