A Secret Warrant Just Came to Light That the FBI Kept in Place Even After Trump Had Already Been in Office a Full Year

Michael Caputo showed America the document last week – a secret FBI warrant with his name on it, still active a full year into the Trump administration.

That warrant didn't target a spy or a criminal.

It targeted a Trump staffer – and it was still running inside Trump's own Justice Department when Caputo found it.

Biden FBI Secret Search Warrant Targeted Caputo Three Weeks After He Joined the 2024 Trump Campaign

Caputo didn't discover the warrant by accident – he discovered it because he was working inside the Department of Justice when he learned the investigators sitting in the very same office suite were driving a five-year criminal inquiry into him, his family, and his friends.

He was surrounded by the people running the probe.

Biden's FBI issued a classified subpoena to Google in August 2023 – three weeks after Caputo signed on to Trump's 2024 campaign to work on Weaponization of Government issues – demanding his emails, subscriber data, financial records, phone activity, and location history.

Caputo didn't find out until March 2025, when a Google notification arrived while he was sitting inside the U.S. Attorney's office for the District of Columbia.

"I actually was notified that this was an investigation initiated by the US attorney in the District of Columbia while sitting in the office of the US Attorney for the District of Columbia," he said.

The warrant ran through December 2025 – one full year into the new Trump administration.

"I mean, we had just won the election," Caputo told Catherine Herridge on Straight to the Point in March. "They have a warrant for all my records, not just Google. It's my bank, it's my phone, they're all over my stuff."

FBI Spied on Susie Wiles and Dan Scavino — Then Went Even Deeper Into the Trump Campaign

The reason this matters beyond Caputo personally: he was not a senior figure.

Susie Wiles – now White House Chief of Staff – was spied on.

Dan Scavino was spied on.

Kash Patel, then an outside campaign advisor, was spied on.

And then they went further down the food chain to a communications staffer whose main crime was making a documentary about Biden's Ukraine corruption and working on the campaign.

"I know that there was spying on the campaign in 2024, several of my friends told me that I owe it to the country to come forward," Caputo said. "Because yes, Susie was spied on, Dan Scavino was spied on, Kash Patel was spied on as an adviser to the campaign, but the idea that they went junior to Michael Caputo – there's a lot of people between me and Susie Wiles."

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton put it plainly: "Caputo used his emails to help devise strategy for the Trump campaign, and the Biden gang was rooting through it all."

If they went that deep on a junior staffer, how many people in between were also watched?

The FISA Warrant Kept Running Inside Trump's Own DOJ — and Nobody Stopped It

Here is where the story goes from outrage to alarm.

The warrant stayed active through the opening year of the Trump administration.

Nobody in the chain of command shut it down on their own.

It took the target – working inside the building – to discover the investigation of himself and get it closed by, in Caputo's words, "the highest authority."

Caputo said the weaponization "continued under Pam Bondi, probably because it's bigger than anyone knew."

Bondi is now gone – fired by Trump in April.

The question nobody in Washington wants to answer: who inside the FBI kept that warrant alive after January 20, 2025, and why hasn't that person been identified?

This Is Russiagate With a New Coat of Paint

This is not a new story.

It's the same story, running on an extended loop that has now spanned three election cycles.

The Obama FBI used a fraudulent Steele dossier – paid for by Hillary Clinton's campaign – to spy on Carter Page and the 2016 Trump team.

The Biden FBI used the Russia hoax as cover to run warrants on Trump's 2024 campaign, from the future White House Chief of Staff all the way down to a communications staffer fighting cancer while agents sat outside his house throwing pebbles at his window to keep him awake at night.

"It isn't just financial costs," Caputo said. "It's the death threats and the strange, weird surveillance by citizens as they're following you."

He liquidated his children's college fund to pay lawyers.

He lost what he called the most profitable years of his career – 52 to 61 – to a probe that never produced a single charge.

"Russiagate almost killed me," Caputo said. "It was 100% stress."

The people who ran this operation are still collecting government pensions.

John Brennan – the CIA director who blessed the Russia hoax from the start – has never faced a single consequence.

Caputo named him directly as someone who should be arrested.

He's still on television.
