More FBI Agents Dismissed Over Trump Investigation

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has fired more agents who were involved in an investigation into U.S. President Donald Trump. According to people familiar with the matter, the latest action includes employees who took part in the probe related to the alleged hoarding of classified documents.

The dismissals were reported on Wednesday (February 25, 2026). Officials said the firings are part of a wider reshuffle within the agency under the leadership of FBI Director Kash Patel, who was appointed by Mr. Trump.

Over the past year, Director Patel has removed dozens of employees from the FBI. Many of those affected were either directly involved in investigations concerning the president or were seen as not fully aligned with the administration’s priorities. Supporters say the changes are meant to reform the agency, while critics argue that they raise concerns about political influence in law enforcement.

The investigation into classified documents had drawn national attention, as it focused on the handling and storage of sensitive government materials. The issue became a major political and legal matter.

Similar actions have also taken place at the United States Department of Justice. Since Mr. Trump took office last year, the Justice Department has reportedly dismissed several prosecutors in what has been described as a broad internal restructuring.

The developments have sparked debate in political and legal circles about the independence of federal law enforcement agencies and the impact of leadership changes on ongoing and past investigations.
