Donald Trump Investigations

The FBI subpoenaed 2022–2023 toll records for Kash Patel and Susie Wiles—issued while both were private citizens—as part of the federal classified‑documents probe, a disclosure that left Wiles “in shock” and coincided with the ouster of roughly 10 FBI employees tied to the Mar‑a‑Lago investigation. Officials say the FBI recorded at least one 2023 call between Wiles and her then‑attorney with the lawyer’s purported consent, but the attorney now “categorically” denies consenting and says doing so would violate his professional obligations, a dispute Wiles and her lawyer say suggests the bureau may have misrepresented consent and has drawn criticism from conservative allies and commentators (including accusations that Patel sought to build a case against special counsel Jack Smith).
