Kash Patel fires dozen FBI agents who investigated Trump at Mar-a-Lago

FBI Director Kash Patel fired at least ten to twelve FBI agents and staff who had worked on the 2022 Mar-a-Lago classified documents investigation of Donald Trump, including members of a counterintelligence unit tracking Iranian threats. The firings followed Trump's repeated public vows of retribution against investigators he characterized as politically motivated. The agents had not been accused of misconduct and were removed solely based on their prior investigative assignments.
