Keystone Kash Patel Fired Iran Experts Just Days Before Trump’s War

Embattled FBI Director Kash Patel’s revenge-fueled firing spree last week resulted in several key specialists in the threat posed by Iran losing their jobs—just days before Donald Trump’s latest war.

Patel terminated 12 FBI employees following revelations that his and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles’ phones had been under subpoena as part of a probe on the illegal storage of documents at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property.

The FBI used subpoenas to obtain the communication records of Patel and Wiles during a 2022-2023 probe that eventually came under the leadership of Special Counsel Jack Smith.
