Subpoena Controversy

Federal Bureau of Investigation subpoenaed phone-call records of Kash Patel and Susie Wiles from 2022–2023, Patel told Reuters on Feb 25, 2026.
Investigators obtained toll records to establish timelines, which can be obtained via subpoena without a judge's approval.
Patel said investigators obtained toll records showing timing and recipients, extended into Susie Wiles' campaign role, and the FBI filed them under Prohibited classification he recently removed.
A spokesperson for Smith declined to comment on Patel's allegations after he testified to a grand jury with limited immunity.
Critics note the disclosures involve current top officials and may impact congressional oversight and public trust.
