Mindestens zehn FBI-Agenten, die an Trump-Ermittlungen beteiligt waren, wurden entlassen

The FBI has fired roughly 10 members, all of whom participated in a probe into Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents after his first term.
Their termination on Wednesday, confirmed by the BBC’s US partner CBS, was announced shortly after FBI director Kash Patel told Reuters that federal agents subpoenaed his phone records when he was a private citizen during the documents investigation.
Susie Wiles, now White House chief of staff, also had her phone records subpoenaed when she was a private citizen as part of the investigation.
Patel did not offer any evidence of wrongdoing by the FBI employees who were fired.
After Trump left the White House in 2021, Special Counsel Jack Smith led two federal investigations into now-President Trump. One case was focused on whether Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election results.
The other involved classified documents Trump brought back to his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida and his alleged efforts to obstruct the US Department of Justice from later retrieving them.
The FBI staffers who were terminated on Wednesday all participated in the classified documents case.
The BBC has reached out to the FBI for comment.
An advocacy group representing current and former FBI employees condemned the firings.
„These actions weaken the Bureau by stripping away critical expertise and destabilizing the workforce, undermining trust in leadership and jeopardizing the Bureau’s ability to meet its recruitment goals – ultimately putting the nation at greater risk,“ the FBI Agents Association said in a statement.
Trump and two of his associates were indicted in 2023, following Smith’s investigation into the classified documents.
In 2024, a federal judge in Florida dropped the case against Trump, however, having found that Smith was unlawfully appointed.
This year, a federal appeals court in Georgia dropped the case against the last two defendants at the request of Trump’s justice department.
Since Trump returned to the White House in January, the justice department and FBI have fired employees who participated in the federal investigations against him.
The justice department also attempted to pursue charges against former FBI director James Comey, whom Trump fired during his first term in 2017, and New York Attorney General Letitia James, who led a civil fraud lawsuit against Trump.

Integrifty is so important.

WE CANNOT FORGET THE CORRUPTION , DO NOT GET BORED . DO NOT EASE OFF . THESE PEOPLE ARE EVIL

The agents know where the bodies are buried. Just because they weren’t allowed to prosecute, they still know.

Everybody knows that agents get to pick and choose which cases they work on. /s

Given the glorification of violence we’ve seen in the US, fired is actually the most lenient news I could hear about those agents. I hope they blow the whistle loud when the time comes.

Imagine getting fired from the FBI for doing your job. 

Fuck Trump. 

Great. They can all be subpoenaed immediately for their testimony.

I’m suprised there hasn’t been a leak.

As long as the victims are protected. Suprised there’s no leak.

Stop showing us this ugly fuck

Straight to Valhalla

Let’s start locking them up before they flee!!!
