FBI Agents Fired After Mar-a-Lago Investigation, Sparking Outrage
At least ten FBI employees involved in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into President Trump’s retention of classified records were terminated on Wednesday. These dismissals followed a report that phone records of individuals including former White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles were subpoenaed as part of the probe. The FBI Agents Association condemned the firings, asserting they violate due process rights and weaken the Bureau’s operational capacity. This action is part of a broader trend of Trump administration officials targeting federal employees who worked on Smith’s investigations, which previously led to federal criminal indictments against a former president.
