Fox confirms the FBI seized Kash Patel's and now White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles' phone records in 2022 and 2023 as part of the investigations into President Trump's effort to overturn the 2020 election results and retaining classified documents when he left office.

Patel and Wiles were Trump aides named in investigations.

Patel calls the subpoenas of his phone records outrageous and alarming.

Meantime, at least 10 FBI employees who worked on the classified documents case were fired Wednesday.

America's listening to Fox News.

At a scheduled town hall meeting with Gates Foundation employees, Bill Gates says it was a huge mistake to spend time with Jeffrey Epstein and bring Foundation executives into meetings with him and apologizes for drawing other people into the whole thing.

He says he never saw anything illicit or visited Epstein's private island.

He does admit having affairs that had nothing to do with Epstein victims with two Russian women.

There were email references in the Epstein files released by the Justice Department to a Gates marital dispute and illicit trysts.

Gates says he met with Epstein starting in 2011, three years after he pled guilty to soliciting prostitution with a minor, and that he continued meeting with him even after his then-wife Melinda expressed concerns in 2013.

Asked if they have a positive view of the Democratic Party, about 3 in 10 Democrats say they do not in this AP-NORC poll.

The 7 in 10 saying yes is a little higher than it was in October, but still down from the 85% favorability in September 2024 before President Trump beat Vice President Harris in the election.

Republicans are slightly more enthusiastic about their own party these days.

Roughly a quarter of Americans surveyed have a negative view of both parties.

That's especially the case among independents and people under 45.

One in 10 feel good about both parties.
