A break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the 1970s set off a chain of events that ended a presidency. Operatives tied to President Richard Nixon installed wiretaps inside the Watergate complex. When it was exposed, the fallout reshaped American politics.
Now a bombshell report from Reuters reveals Biden’s FBI carried out a Wategate-style operation against Donald Trump and his 2024 presidential campaign.
According to Reuters, the FBI under then-President Joe Biden secretly obtained Susie Wiles’ phone records while she was a private citizen working on behalf of Trump’s 2024 campaign. Two anonymous FBI officials also said that Biden’s FBI “recorded a phone call between Wiles and her attorney” in 2023.
“Wiles’ attorney was aware that the call was being recorded, and consented to it, but Susie Wiles was not,” Reuters reported. Kash Patel, whom the FBI also spied on at the time, told Reuters the phone records obtained by Biden’s FBI “extended into Wiles’ time as Trump’s co-campaign manager.”
According to Reuters, Biden’s FBI “subpoenaed records of phone calls” made by Wiles and Patel between 2022 and 2023.
“It is outrageous and deeply alarming that the previous FBI leadership secretly subpoenaed my own phone records — along with those of now White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles — using flimsy pretexts and burying the entire process in prohibited case files designed to evade all oversight,” Patel told Reuters in a statement.
