Kash Patel has added German luxury cars to his growing list of expensive taxpayer-funded purchases, with the FBI confirming it bought armored BMW X5s at the director's request. The move has sparked outrage from former Justice Department officials who've called it 'an embarrassment', especially as House Democrats continue investigating Patel's use of government resources.
Patel pushed the FBI to acquire the high-end vehicles because he wanted to be 'less conspicuous' during his outings. That reasoning has left more than a few people scratching their heads, given that FBI directors have traditionally been driven around in Chevrolet Suburbans for decades without complaint.
