Here are the biggest stories and developments surrounding the FBI over the past month (late February to late March 2026):
Major FBI Headlines – March 2026
Passing of Former Director Robert Mueller: Robert Mueller, who led the FBI from 2001 to 2013 and guided its post-9/11 transformation into an intelligence-driven agency, passed away at the age of 81. Mueller was the longest-serving director since J. Edgar Hoover and is also widely known for his later role as the Special Counsel investigating the 2016 election.
Lawsuits Over Bureau Terminations: Two former FBI agents filed a federal lawsuit against FBI Director Kash Patel, alleging they were fired solely because of their involvement in investigations related to the 2020 election. This follows reports of broader personnel shifts within the Bureau under the current administration, including the dismissal of counterintelligence experts and agents involved in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents probe.
Disruption of Iranian Cyber Operations: On March 19, the Justice Department and the FBI announced the seizure of multiple domains used by Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS). A state-backed group operating as “Handala Hack” used these sites to conduct psychological operations—including doxing Israeli Defense Force members, sending death threats to Iranian dissidents, and claiming credit for malware attacks against a U.S. medical technology firm.
Warning on Russian Phishing Campaigns: The FBI and CISA issued a joint public warning that Russian state-backed hackers are running global phishing campaigns to hijack Signal and WhatsApp accounts. By posing as “app support,” the attackers trick targets—including government officials, journalists, and military staff—into handing over access codes, allowing them to effectively bypass the platforms’ end-to-end encryption.
First Transnational Repression Task Force: The FBI’s Philadelphia Field Office established the Bureau’s first operational task force aimed specifically at recognizing and disrupting “transnational repression”—actions by foreign governments attempting to stalk, intimidate, or assault dissidents and refugees living inside the United States.
Court Re-examines Botched 2017 Raid: Following a unanimous Supreme Court ruling allowing the case to proceed, a federal appeals court is currently taking a fresh look at a lawsuit filed by an Atlanta family whose home was mistakenly raided at gunpoint by an FBI SWAT team in 2017.

Would you like me to pull more details on any of these specific investigations or look into updates on other ongoing FBI operations?
