FBI Director Kash Patel has said the FBI, under the Biden administration, obtained his and Susie Wiles’s phone records when they were both private citizens and attempted to conceal the efforts.

In an exclusive with Reuters, Patel described the seizing of phone records and the attempt to hide the action as an example of overreach by unelected officials under the former president.
