Trump Investigations and FBI Oversight

Federal subpoenas seeking non‑content toll records for Kash Patel and Susie Wiles in 2022–23 — issued during special counsel Jack Smith’s election‑interference and classified‑documents probes — have been tied to a wider sweep that included Google notices to other Trump allies such as Corey Lewandowski and Dan Scavino. Two FBI officials say agents recorded a 2023 call between Wiles and her lawyer with the lawyer’s consent, a claim the lawyer denies and Wiles says left her "in shock," while Patel called the subpoenas "outrageous," alleging they were hidden in protected case files and saying he has moved to end the FBI’s use of "Prohibited" file designations.
