多名消息人士证实,在周三解雇至少10人后,联邦调查局(FBI)周四又解雇了更多与调查特朗普总统相关的员工。总体而言,粗略估计两天内共有约12人被解雇。
消息人士称,解雇行动是在FBI局长卡什·帕特尔(Kash Patel)声称前特别检察官杰克·史密斯(Jack Smith)为调查唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)而传票要求其电话记录之后开始的。
这些特工、分析师和支持人员大多参与了史密斯对特朗普总统保留机密文件调查的工作,在过去两天内被帕特尔解雇。帕特尔声称,史密斯在调查中越权获取了他的电话记录以及特朗普幕僚长苏西·怀尔斯(Susie Wiles)的电话记录,而当时两人均为平民。
帕特尔周三对路透社表示,FBI”以站不住脚的借口秘密传票要求其电话记录,并将整个过程掩埋在禁止查阅的案件档案中,以逃避所有监督。”他没有具体描述这些”站不住脚的借口”。
他所指控的核心电话记录类型被称为长途电话记录,包含来电和去电号码、日期、时间和通话时长等细节,但不包含通话内容。在刑事调查中,执法部门通常通过大陪审团传票获取此类记录,以帮助重建时间线、建立联系和核实信息。
在拜登政府时期,国家档案馆未能成功从特朗普先生处追回敏感的白宫文件后,司法部于2022年8月从海湖庄园查获了白宫文件,其中一些被标记为”绝密”。特朗普先生称这些文件是他合法持有的,并公开声称在其总统任期即将结束时,他已将自己持有的部分机密材料解密。
帕特尔曾在第一任特朗普政府中任职,当时被特朗普先生指定为美国国家档案馆和记录管理局代表,并于2022年11月在文件案大陪审团前作证。在接受《布莱巴特新闻》采访时,帕特尔声称自己在场见证了特朗普解密这些材料的过程。
FBI新闻办公室未立即回应置评请求。
联邦调查局特工协会谴责此次解雇行为,称这些员工被解雇时未经过正当程序。
史密斯对特朗普的调查导致美国历史上首次对前总统提起联邦刑事指控。2024年年中,佛罗里达州一名联邦法官以史密斯被非法任命为由,驳回了机密文件相关指控。在特朗普赢得2024年总统大选后,史密斯也撤销了针对特朗普的2020年大选相关指控。
此后,特朗普政府将矛头对准了参与这两起案件的联邦雇员。司法部解雇了史密斯团队中的一批检察官,FBI也解雇了参与”北极霜”(Arctic Frost)选举调查的特工。

About a dozen FBI staff who worked on Trump documents case fired over 2 days, sources say
Updated on: February 26, 2026 / 7:44 PM EST / CBS News
The FBI fired more employees Thursday linked to investigations into President Trump after terminating at least 10 Wednesday, multiple sources confirmed. Overall, the rough estimate is about a dozen in total over two days.
The firings began after FBI Director Kash Patel alleged that former special counsel Jack Smith had subpoenaed his phone records as part of his investigation into Donald Trump, multiple sources said.
The agents, analysts and support staff, most of whom worked on Smith’s probe into President Trump’s retention of classified documents, were removed from their jobs over the past two days by Patel, who claimed that Smith had overstepped his authority by obtaining both his phone records as well as phone records for Mr. Trump’s chief of staff Susie Wiles while they were private citizens.
Patel had said in a statement to Reuters Wednesday that the FBI had secretly subpoenaed his phone records “using flimsy pretexts and burying the entire process in prohibited case files designed to evade all oversight.” He did not describe the “flimsy pretexts.”
The types of phone records at the heart of his claim are known as toll records, which contain details such as the originating and recipient numbers, date, time, and duration of calls, but not the content. It is customary for law enforcement to obtain such records through a grand jury subpoena as part of a criminal investigation to help reconstruct timelines, establish connections and verify information.
During the Biden administration, after the National Archives had unsuccessfully sought the return of sensitive White House documents from Mr. Trump, the Justice Department seized White House files from Mar-a-Lago in August 2022, some of which were labeled “Top Secret.” Mr. Trump has said the documents were in his possession lawfully and claimed publicly that in the waning days of his presidency he declassified some material in his possession that had been classified.
Patel, who served in the first Trump administration, was designated by Mr. Trump at the time to be a representative to the National Archives and Records Administration, and he testified before a grand jury in the documents case in November 2022. In an interview with Breitbart News, Patel claimed to have been present when Mr. Trump declassified the material.
The FBI press office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The FBI Agents Association has condemned the firings, saying the employees were terminated without any due process.
Smith’s investigations into Mr. Trump led to the first federal criminal indictments against a former president in U.S. history. The classified document charges were dismissed by a federal judge in Florida in mid-2024 on the grounds that Smith was unlawfully appointed, and Smith dropped the 2020 election charges after Mr. Trump won the 2024 race.
Since then, the Trump administration has taken aim at federal employees who worked on the two cases. The Justice Department fired a group of prosecutors who worked on Smith’s team, and the FBI has fired agents involved in the Arctic Frost election investigation.
