FBI Director Kash Patel has found himself at the centre of yet another controversy after defending his use of a £45 million ($60 million) government jet to visit his girlfriend. During a recent appearance on The Katie Miller Podcast, Patel argued that he only attends roughly 15 per cent of his partner's performances—implying he could be doing far worse.
'And if I was actually abusing it, I would go see every one of her shows. I think I get to like 15 per cent,' Patel stated. The comment immediately went viral, with taxpayers pointing out that any use of government resources for personal reasons—whether it's 1 per cent or 100 per cent—constitutes misuse.
