Kash Patel Accused Of Being Spotted More In Nightclubs Than At His Job
New Delhi: Questions are mounting around FBI Director Kash Patel’s commitment to his role, with a former high-ranking bureau official raising eyebrows over his alleged absence from headquarters and frequent visits at nightclubs.
“Reportedly, he’s been visible at nightclubs far more than he has been on the seventh floor of the Hoover building,” Figliuzzi told host Jonathan Lemire. “And there are reports that daily briefings to him have been changed from every day to maybe twice weekly.” Patel, Donald Trump’s other blue-eyed boy, has been spending much of his time away from Washington, D.C., splitting weeks between the Hoover Building and his home in Las Vegas.
“So this is both a blessing and a curse,” Figliuzzi said. “Because if he’s really trying to run things without his experience, without any experience level, things could be bad. If he’s not plugged in, things could be bad. But he’s allowing agents to run things so we don’t know where this is going.” Notably, recently, Senate Democrats demanded a formal probe into Patel’s use of FBI resources, particularly the agency’s private jets.
CBS News reported that the U.S. Government Accountability Office may soon investigate the nature and costs of Patel’s travel, and whether any personal trips were improperly charged to taxpayers. The Washington Post reported that following several outlets’ reports, Patel has reportedly ordered polygraph tests within the bureau in an effort to root out suspected “leaks” to the media.
