福克斯新闻证实,联邦调查局在2022年和2023年传唤了卡什·帕特尔(Kash Patel)和苏西·怀尔斯(Susie Wiles)的电话记录,当时两人均为普通公民,这是对前总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)的联邦调查的一部分。
帕特尔目前担任联邦调查局局长,怀尔斯则是白宫办公厅主任。
据福克斯新闻消息,至少有10名联邦调查局雇员于周三被解雇,出于隐私原因未公布姓名。
路透社首先披露了这些传票,传票是在拜登政府时期发出的,当时特别检察官杰克·史密斯正在调查特朗普试图推翻2020年选举结果以及他在海湖庄园处理机密文件的行为。
史密斯最终于2023年对特朗普提起多项重罪指控,指控其试图质疑2020年选举结果以及卸任后处理文件的行为。
一名联邦法官在史密斯因特朗普连任后以司法部政策为由放弃起诉现任总统为由,驳回了这起选举干预案。
史密斯还放弃了司法部对另一项驳回机密文件案裁决的上诉。特朗普否认在这两起事件中有任何不当行为。

帕特尔在周三向福克斯新闻发表的声明中称,获取电话记录的举动”令人发指且令人深感担忧”。
他说:”前联邦调查局领导层以站不住脚的借口秘密传唤了我和现任白宫办公厅主任苏西·怀尔斯的电话记录,并将整个过程掩盖在旨在逃避所有监督的’禁止’案件档案中,这是令人发指且令人深感担忧的。”
路透社报道称,联邦调查局在标有”禁止”的文件中发现了这些电话记录。
帕特尔还表示,他最近终止了联邦调查局将文件归类为”禁止”的权力。

福克斯新闻还从两名联邦调查局官员处了解到,2023年,联邦调查局特工记录了怀尔斯与其律师的一次通话。
据这些官员称,怀尔斯的律师知道通话正在被录音并表示同意,但怀尔斯本人并未被告知。
史密斯去年作证称,成员通话记录帮助调查人员核实了1月6日国会山骚乱相关事件的时间线。
路透社报道,他表示检察官”严格遵守所有法律要求获取这些记录”,并告诉众议院小组委员会,从议员那里获取的记录不包含谈话内容。

FBI subpoenaed Kash Patel, Susie Wiles phone records in Trump probe | Fox News
Special counsel Jack Smith obtained the records during federal probe into 2020 election and classified documents

The FBI subpoenaed Kash Patel and Susie Wiles’ phone records in 2022 and 2023, when both were private citizens, as part of a federal probe into then former President Donald Trump, Fox News has confirmed.
Patel is the current FBI director, and Wiles is White House chief of staff.
At least 10 FBI employees were fired Wednesday, Fox News has been told. Names were not given due to privacy reasons.
Reuters first disclosed the subpoenas, which were issued during the Biden administration, while special counsel Jack Smith was investigating Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.

Smith ended up charging Trump in 2023 with multiple felony offenses related to alleged efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 election and Trump’s handling of the documents after he left office.
A federal judge later dismissed the election interference case after Smith moved to drop it following Trump’s re-election, citing a Justice Department policy against prosecuting a sitting president.
Smith also dropped the Justice Department’s appeal of a separate ruling that dismissed the classified documents case. Trump has denied any wrongdoing in both matters.

In a statement to Fox News Wednesday, Patel called the move to seize the phone records “outrageous and deeply alarming.”
“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.
The FBI had found the phone records in files labeled as “Prohibited,” Reuters reported.
Patel also said he recently ended the FBI’s ability to categorize files as “Prohibited.”

Fox News also learned from two FBI officials that in 2023, FBI agents recorded a phone call between Wiles and her attorney.
According to those officials, Wiles’ attorney was aware the call was being recorded and consented, but Wiles was not informed.
Smith testified last year that records of members’ calls helped investigators verify the timeline of events surrounding the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
He said prosecutors “followed all legal requirements in getting those records” and told a House panel the records obtained from lawmakers did not include the content of conversations, Reuters reported.
