Haiti PM Ariel Henry was banned from leaving the country amid murder inquiry
A prosecutor is seeking charges against Mr Henry, who has been asked to explain his links with a key suspect in the killing, Joseph Felix Badio.
Records show the two men had multiple phone calls just hours after the assassination, prosecutors say.
Mr Moïse was killed at home on 7 July.
He was shot dead after shooters stormed his private residence in a suburb of the capital, Port-au-Prince. His death triggered a political crisis exacerbated when a huge earthquake struck the south of Haiti a month ago.
On Monday, Mr Henry sent a letter purportedly sacking Chief Prosecutor Bed-Ford Claude and accusing him of a "serious administrative offence". He later nominated a replacement.
However, on Tuesday, Mr Claude appeared to remain in his post as he asked a judge investigating the murder of Mr Moïse to charge the prime minister over his "suspected" involvement in the case.
Sources of Haiti say it is not in the prime minister's remit to dismiss the prosecutor.
Haiti's justice minister has ordered extra police protection for Mr Claude following many reported threats.
Prosecutors say records obtained from phone operator Digicel have confirmed that Mr Badio - a justice ministry official accused of planning the assassination - and Mr Henry spoke twice shortly after Mr Moïse's killing.
Geolocation data also showed that Mr Badio, who disappeared after the murder and is currently being sought by police, spoke from somewhere close to the crime scene. He has not publicly commented on these claims.
The prime minister recently rejected "diversionary tactics" intended to "sow confusion" without responding to the specific accusations against him.
Mr Henry has previously told local media that he knew Mr Badio. He has defended him and said that he did not believe he was involved because he did not have the means.
The prime minister was reportedly given a deadline of Tuesday, 14 September, to supply the investigation with information.
It comes as authorities step up their efforts to arrest additional suspects in the assassination.
Police say there are now 44 people held in custody in connection with the plot, including 18 retired members of the Colombian military.
