FBI Head’s Jet Use Delayed Shooting Response, Whistleblower Says
Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Kash Patel
Photographer: Aaron Schwartz/BloombergA whistleblower told Democrats on the Senate Judiciary committee that FBI agents had to drive through a winter storm overnight from Quantico, Virginia to Providence, Rhode Island to process evidence at a mass shooting scene because Director Kash Patel’s personal travel had left the bureau without an available plane.
That disclosure is among several in a letter the panel’s ranking member Dick Durbin sent Tuesday to federal watchdogs, calling for an investigation into Patel’s use of government aircraft.
