Two senior FBI agents in charge of counterterrorism in Washington have been removed from their posts and reassigned to headquarters following a dispute over the handling of an investigation into alleged harassing phone calls directed at Katie Miller, the wife of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller.

The move has sparked internal criticism among career agents who view the decision as politicized, particularly given the broader pattern of personnel changes under FBI Director Kash Patel. While the White House framed the reassignment as a necessary step to address stifled investigations into serious threats, the FBI’s Washington field office chief denied that the order came from Director Patel, describing it as a local personnel decision based on mission needs.
