Federal investigators have issued subpoenas for the phone records of Kash Patel and Susie Wiles as part of an ongoing Justice Department probe connected to President Donald Trump.
The subpoenas require telecommunications providers to turn over detailed call logs and other communication records for both political aides. The requests are part of a broader effort by the FBI to gather information relevant to the investigation.
Patel and Wiles are well-known figures with close ties to Trump’s political operations. Patel previously served in senior national security roles in the administration, while Wiles has been a longtime political consultant and adviser.
Law enforcement officials say the records could help establish timelines, contacts and potential connections between various individuals and events under scrutiny in the federal investigation. The subpoenas do not, by themselves, indicate charges against Patel or Wiles.
Representatives for both individuals have not publicly detailed their responses to the subpoenas. Legal experts note that seeking communication records is a common investigative step when trying to corroborate witness statements or identify networks of association.
The investigation itself remains active, and prosecutors have been pursuing multiple lines of inquiry involving Trump and close associates. As the case evolves, additional subpoenas and evidence requests are expected to be part of the process.
Officials emphasize that subpoenas do not equate to guilt and that legal procedures allow subjects and recipients to challenge or negotiate the scope of records turned over. The focus on phone records reflects standard investigative practice in federal cases.
