An investigation by the U.S. special counsel into Kash Patel, now the FBI director, has turned out to be far more extensive than previously reported, according to court documents.
Led from 2022 by Special Prosecutor Jack Smith, the investigation included requests for more than two years' worth of communications, including phone records, text messages, emails, and financial data.
Subpoenas have been issued to the operator Verizon in order to obtain detailed information, including identifiers, IP addresses and other data related to Patel's communications.
These investigations were part of broader inquiries into possible electoral interference related to the 2020 presidential election and the handling of classified documents.
However, the exact nature of the suspicions against Kash Patel has not been specified, and it is not established whether he has committed any offenses.
The documents were made public by Republican senators ahead of a congressional hearing on the work of the special counsel.
This revelation highlights the scale of resources mobilized in certain sensitive federal investigations, at the heart of political tensions in the United States.
She also highlights the climate of strong polarization surrounding the investigations related to the entourage of Donald Trump and national security.
