Exclusive: FBI obtained Kash Patel and Susie Wiles phone records during Biden administration
The FBI subpoenaed phone records of Kash Patel and Susie Wiles in 2022 and 2023, when they were private citizens, as part of the federal investigation into Donald Trump. Patel disclosed to Reuters that the records were sought during the probe.
Patel and Wiles later held high-level government roles, with Patel becoming FBI director and Wiles serving as White House Chief of Staff. The former private citizens’ records were collected during the ongoing investigation.
The disclosure highlights the FBI’s use of records in investigations involving prominent political figures and their associates, raising questions about the scope of data obtained from private individuals linked to the case.
