新公布的文件披露了FBI对总统唐纳德·特朗普现任办公厅主任苏西·怀尔斯的监控范围，显示调查人员追踪了她的电话元数据，反映出她与律师、记者、竞选官员、特朗普集团人员及特勤局联系人的往来情况。
白宫周一公布的文件详细披露了“等离子回声”调查案——该调查针对特朗普处理机密文件及其他总统档案的行为，促成了FBI2022年对海湖庄园的搜查，后续还涉及可能妨碍调查的指控。
记录显示，FBI至少在2023年2月至5月期间监控了怀尔斯的手机活动，记录了打给她的电话、她打出的电话、通话时间及通话时长。
文件显示，怀尔斯与至少21名律师、竞选工作人员、特朗普集团联系人、特勤局人员及记者存在联系，这让外界更全面地了解到该局监控的覆盖范围。

路透社今年2月率先报道称，FBI局长卡什·帕特尔表示，该局已传唤怀尔斯和他本人作为普通公民时的电话记录，作为涉及特朗普的联邦调查的一部分。
新公布的文件更详细地展现了此次监控的范围和规模，显示调查人员在数月时间里梳理了怀尔斯在特朗普法律、政治、商业、媒体和安保圈子内的电话联系人。
部分条目列出了被纳入FBI对怀尔斯监控的联系人姓名，包括与CNN、《华盛顿邮报》和《政客》相关联的记者，而其他数十名联系人仅被标注为“律师”“竞选团队”和“特勤局”。
周一的文件披露还显示，FBI的监控还涉及怀尔斯与两名特勤局官员的联系，两人仅被标注为“特勤局1号”和“特勤局2号”，将该局对怀尔斯手机活动的追踪范围延伸至特朗普的安保圈子。记录未透露调查人员试图通过这些联系人确认什么信息、通话内容是什么，也未提供可靠的通话时长。
2023年3月24日的一条记录显示，调查人员记录了“律师7号”打给怀尔斯的一通41秒通话，并随后查看了两人此前的通话，这表明调查人员并非仅记录孤立的通话，而是追踪她社交网络中的通话模式。文件未解释此次审查的触发原因，也未说明调查人员认为这些联系人能揭示什么信息。
另有一例：3月9日的日志显示，调查人员记录了怀尔斯与至少6名被标注为竞选工作人员的联系人的多通通话，记录了通话发生的时间和时长，但未记录谈话内容。

该调查由FBI和司法部于2022年3月启动，时任FBI局长克里斯托弗·雷申请授权，司法部长梅里克·加兰批准了全面调查。2022年11月，加兰任命杰克·史密斯为特别检察官，负责监督此次持续调查。
怀尔斯当时负责运营特朗普的政治团队，是其顶级竞选顾问，后来成为他的白宫办公厅主任。
“杰克·史密斯的监视行动是对政府权力的可耻滥用。监视政治对手就是将执法武器化，这是显而易见的。”白宫发言人劳伦·比斯告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“相关责任人必须被追究责任。”
传统基金会外交政策专家维多利亚·科茨告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，对怀尔斯的追踪“史无前例、危险且应被定为非法”。
“拜登政府的FBI沿用了2015年奥巴马政府FBI的先例，当时他们利用职权监视时任总统候选人唐纳德·特朗普及其竞选团队在特朗普大厦的活动，以及其他候选人，尤其是当时我的上司、参议员特德·克鲁兹。这是彻头彻尾的政治肮脏伎俩。”科茨说。
科茨认为，FBI追踪的广度引发了对调查过度的担忧，她指出这与司法部处理乔·拜登总统的机密文件案形成鲜明对比。
“不，尤其是按照司法部自己处理拜登总统担任副总统期间的机密文件违规行为的极低标准，拜登当时的情况远比海湖庄园留存的任何文件都要严重得多。”科茨说。

她还警告称，追踪怀尔斯与律师和记者的通讯对未来的总统竞选具有更广泛的影响。
“在我们日益数字化的世界里，这引发了一个令人不安的幽灵：未来的竞选活动中，在任者可以利用不仅是候选人及其家人，还有其幕僚的私人通讯进行武器化操作。”科茨说。
解密文件还显示，在FBI计划对海湖庄园进行搜查时，探员收集了梅拉尼娅·特朗普和其子巴伦的出行细节。
行动规划邮件包含突袭前的核查清单，指示探员“最终明确FBI对前总统/第一夫人/未成年儿子出行情况的了解”，包括飞机类型和具体出行时间表，调查人员借此确定执行搜查令的时机。
FBI于2022年8月8日在佛罗里达州棕榈滩的特朗普海湖庄园执行了搜查令。据福克斯新闻数字频道此前报道的记录显示，探员在接近早上9点时进入庄园，约10:30开始搜查。

Jack Smith probe records swept up communications involving nearly 50 journalists
Records obtained from first-Trump White House phones included communications between government officials and journalists from Fox News, CNN, CBS, NBC, Reuters and other major outlets, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, revealed during Tuesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.

Newly released documents reveal the extent of the FBI’s monitoring of President Donald Trump’s now-chief of staff Susie Wiles, showing investigators tracked phone metadata reflecting her contacts with attorneys, journalists, campaign officials, Trump Organization personnel and Secret Service contacts.
Documents released Monday by the White House detail “Plasmic Echo,” the investigation into Trump’s handling of classified documents and other presidential records that led to the FBI’s 2022 search of Mar-a Lago and later included possible obstruction of the investigation.
The records show the FBI tracked Wiles’ phone activity from at least February through May 2023, cataloging who called her, whom she called, when the calls occurred and how long they lasted.
The documents show Wiles was in contact with at least 21 attorneys, along with campaign personnel, Trump Organization contacts, Secret Service contacts and journalists, offering a fuller account of the reach of the bureau’s monitoring.

Reuters first reported in February that FBI Director Kash Patel said the bureau had subpoenaed phone records belonging to him and Wiles while they were private citizens as part of federal investigations involving Trump.
The newly released documents provide a more detailed picture of the scope and scale of the monitoring, revealing how investigators mapped Wiles’ phone contacts across Trump’s legal, political, business, media and security circles over several months.
Some entries name the contacts swept into the FBI’s monitoring of Wiles, including journalists associated with CNN, The Washington Post and Politico, while dozens of others are identified only by labels such as “Lawyer,” “Campaign” and “USSS.”
Monday’s document dump revealed the FBI’s monitoring also swept in Wiles’ contacts with two separate Secret Service officials, identified only as “USSS 1” and “USSS 2,” extending the bureau’s mapping of her phone activity into Trump’s protective orbit. The records do not reveal what investigators were seeking to establish through those contacts, what was discussed or provide reliable durations for the calls.
A March 24 entry from that year shows investigators logged a 41-second call from “Lawyer 7” to Wiles and then examined earlier calls between the two, illustrating how investigators were not simply capturing isolated contacts but tracing patterns across her network. The documents do not explain what prompted that scrutiny or what investigators believed those contacts could reveal.
In another example, a March 9 log shows investigators cataloging a series of Wiles’ calls with at least six contacts identified as campaign personnel, recording when the communications occurred and how long they lasted, but not the substance of the conversations.
JACK SMITH’S TRUMP PROBE SWEPT UP FOX NEWS, OTHER MEDIA COMMUNICATIONS AS INVESTIGATION WENT BEYOND LAWMAKERS

The probe was launched by the FBI and Justice Department in March 2022, with then-FBI Director Christopher Wray seeking authorization and Attorney General Merrick Garland approving the full investigation. The probe was later placed under special counsel Jack Smith, whom Garland appointed in November 2022 to oversee the ongoing investigation.
Wiles was running Trump’s political operation and serving as a top campaign adviser at the time, and later became his White House chief of staff.
“Jack Smith’s surveillance operation was a disgraceful abuse of government power. Spying on political opponents is weaponization of law enforcement, plain and simple,” White House spokesperson Lauren Bis told Fox News Digital. “Those responsible must be held accountable.”
Heritage Foundation foreign policy expert Victoria Coates told Fox News Digital the tracking into Wiles is “unprecedented, dangerous and should be illegal.”
“The Biden FBI was following the precedent of the Obama FBI in 2015, when they used their authorities to surveil then-candidate Donald Trump and his campaign at Trump Tower as well as other candidates, notably my then-boss, Senator Ted Cruz. It’s the ultimate political dirty trick,” said Coates.
Coates argued that the breadth of the FBI’s tracking raises concerns about investigative overreach, pointing to what she characterized as a stark contrast with the Justice Department’s handling of President Joe Biden’s classified-documents case.
“No, particularly by the Justice Department’s own very low standards in dealing with President Biden’s classified-document violations from his time as vice president, which were far more egregious than anything retained at Mar-a-Lago,” Coates said.

She also warned that tracking Wiles’ communications with attorneys and journalists carries broader implications for future presidential campaigns.
“In our increasingly digital world, it raises the grim specter of future campaigns where an incumbent can weaponize the private communications of not only a candidate and his family, but also his staff,” Coates said.
The declassified documents also show agents gathering details about the travel of Melania Trump and her son, Barron, as the FBI planned for a potential search of Mar-a-Lago.
Operational planning emails included pre-raid checklists directing agents to “finalize FBI understanding of FPOTUS/FLOTUS/minor son’s travel,” including the type of aircraft and specific travel timeline, as investigators worked to determine when the warrant would be executed.
The FBI executed the search warrant at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, on Aug. 8, 2022. Agents entered the property shortly before 9 a.m. and began searching around 10:30 a.m., according to records previously reported by Fox News Digital.
