FBI Director Kash Patel is facing mounting criticism after reportedly forcing out a senior official who exposed his alleged use of a taxpayer-funded jet to visit his girlfriend, 26-year-old country music artist Alexis Wilkins.
According to multiple sources, Steven Palmer, a 27-year veteran who oversaw the bureau's aviation and crisis response unit, was told to resign or be fired shortly after Patel grew enraged over public attention to his personal travel.
