据报道,2023年担任白宫办公厅主任苏西·怀尔斯(Susie Wiles)律师的人士正在驳斥有关他同意让拜登政府时期的联邦调查局(FBI)在未经其客户知情的情况下录制与她的通话的指控。
“如果我曾经做过这样的‘特技’,我就不会——而且也不应该——拥有执业律师执照,”这位身份未透露的律师向Axios表示,“我和苏西一样感到震惊。”
这一否认声明发布之际,随着特别检察官杰克·史密斯(Jack Smith)在唐纳德·特朗普总统2024年连任竞选前夕调查与特朗普相关的案件,联邦调查局(FBI)使用传票和调查工具的行为受到了越来越多的审查。
路透社周三首次披露了这些传票,报道称拜登政府的FBI在2022年和2023年(当时两人均为平民)传票传唤了怀尔斯和现任FBI局长卡什·帕特尔(Kash Patel)的电话记录。史密斯正在调查特朗普试图推翻2020年选举以及他在佛罗里达州海湖庄园(Mar-a-Lago)处理机密文件的指控。
福克斯新闻数字频道此前了解到,至少有10名FBI员工因此事于周三被解雇。
在这些披露中,两名FBI官员表示,FBI特工在2023年录制了怀尔斯与其律师之间的通话。官员们声称,怀尔斯的律师知晓通话正在被录制并表示同意,但怀尔斯本人并未被告知。
据Axios记者马克·卡普托(Marc Caputo)报道,这位姓名尚未公开的律师驳斥称,他“明确否认允许其客户被FBI录音”。
卡普托在X平台上写道,据报道怀尔斯“相信他,并认为拜登政府时期的FBI可能在此事上撒了谎”。
福克斯新闻数字频道联系了白宫和怀尔斯寻求置评,但尚未立即收到回复。福克斯新闻数字频道周五上午也联系了FBI寻求置评。
这一报道引发了保守派和特朗普盟友支持这位身份未透露的律师,并对整个案件表示质疑。
“我认识这位资深律师……我相信他——这是对每个美国人依法享有的基本宪法权利的侵犯。我们需要问责,需要采取行动,”特朗普2024年竞选经理克里斯·拉西维塔(Chris LaCivita)在X平台上发文称。
“拜登政府的FBI在与苏西·怀尔斯通话时窃听了其律师,该律师称他不知道此事发生,”OutKick创始人克莱·特拉维斯(Clay Travis)在X平台上发文称,“这是一个重大新闻。拜登的FBI在2024年竞选期间监视了特朗普的竞选经理。”
据报道,怀尔斯对传票消息感到震惊,Axios报道称她周四告诉同事:“我感到震惊。”
帕特尔周三也发表了类似的声明。
“此前FBI领导层以站不住脚的借口秘密传票传唤了我自己的电话记录——以及现任白宫办公厅主任苏西·怀尔斯的电话记录——并将整个过程掩埋在禁止查阅的案件档案中,目的是逃避所有监督,这是令人发指和极度令人担忧的,”他在福克斯新闻数字频道获得的一份声明中表示。
Susie Wiles’ lawyer denies approving FBI recording, says he’d lose license over ‘stunt’
Published February 27, 2026 11:16am EST
White House chief of staff Susie Wiles’ attorney in 2023 is disputing claims that he agreed to let the Biden-era FBI record a call with his client without her knowledge, according to a report.
“If I ever pulled a stunt like that I wouldn’t – and shouldn’t – have a license to practice law,” the unidentified attorney said, according to Axios. “I’m as shocked as Susie.”
The denial comes as scrutiny intensifies around the FBI’s use of subpoenas and investigative tools during special counsel Jack Smith’s Trump-related probes ahead of President Donald Trump’s 2024 re-election.
Reuters first disclosed the subpoenas Wednesday, reporting that the Biden FBI subpoenaed Wiles’ and now-FBI Director Kash Patel’s phone records in 2022 and 2023, when both were private citizens. Smith was investigating claims Trump worked to overturn the 2020 election and his handling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago, Florida, resort.
At least 10 FBI employees were fired Wednesday over the matter, Fox News Digital previously learned.
Amid the revelations, two FBI officials said that FBI agents recorded a phone call between Wiles and her attorney in 2023. Wiles’ attorney was aware the call was being recorded and consented, but Wiles was not informed, the officials claimed.
The lawyer, whose name has not been publicly released, pushed back that he “categorically denies he allowed his client to be recorded by the FBI,” according to Axios reporter Marc Caputo.
Wiles reportedly “believes him & that the Biden-era FBI may have lied about it,” Caputo wrote on X.
Fox News Digital reached out to the White House and Wiles for comment, but did not immediately receive replies. Fox News Digital also reached out to the FBI for comment Friday morning.
The report sparked conservatives and Trump allies to back the unidentified lawyer and balk at the case overall.
“I know the long time lawyer ….and I believe him – This is a violation of basic constitutional rights every American by right – has. We need accountability and we need action,” Trump 2024 co-campaign manager Chris LaCivita posted to X.
“So the lawyer Biden’s FBI eavesdropped on during a call with Susie Wiles said he had no idea it happened,” OutKick founder Clay Travis posted to X. “This is a huge story. Biden’s FBI spied on Trump’s campaign manager in the 2024 campaign.”
Wiles was reportedly stunned by the news of the subpoenas, with Axios reporting that she told associates Thursday, “I am in shock.”
Patel issued a similar statement on Wednesday.
“It is outrageous and deeply alarming that the previous FBI leadership secretly subpoenaed my own phone records — along with those of now White House chief of staff Susie Wiles — using flimsy pretexts and burying the entire process in prohibited case files designed to evade all oversight,” he said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital.
