As his first year comes to a close, FBI Director Kash Patel has launched a new round of shakeups that, according to multiple people briefed on the moves, is pushing out senior FBI leaders tied to the two federal criminal investigations that targeted President Donald Trump.
According to MS NOW, Patel reportedly forced out the acting assistant director overseeing the New York field office and special agents in charge in Atlanta and New Orleans, along with additional removals in Miami connected to the 2022 search of Trump's Florida estate. The FBI declined to comment to the Daily Beast, who also reported on the matter.
