FBI Director Kash Patel has reportedly fired at least six agents who were involved in the investigation into former President Donald Trump's handling of classified documents, according to Swedish media reports citing sources from AP and NBC News. The agents were reportedly involved in the raid on Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence. The FBI Agents Association (FBIAA) has condemned the firings, calling them illegal and claiming they endanger national security.
Trump was previously indicted in federal court for storing classified documents at his Florida residence after his first term, but the charges were dropped in 2024 citing Justice Department policy that prevents prosecution of a sitting president.
