FBI Fires Agents Linked to Trump Classified Documents Investigation

The FBI, under Director Kash Patel, has fired between six and ten agents involved in the 2022 investigation into former President Donald Trump's retention of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence. The probe, which included a high-profile raid and allegations of mishandling secret Pentagon and CIA materials, was dismissed in 2024 by a judge appointed by Trump. The FBI Agents Association condemned the firings, citing due process concerns and risks to bureau expertise and national security. Trump denies wrongdoing, and the Justice Department dropped the case after his 2024 election victory.
