Fresh whistleblower claims have raised questions over whether FBI Director Kash Patel’s use of agency aircraft delayed the bureau’s response to major crime scenes, including the assassination of Charlie Kirk and a mass shooting at Brown University.
Documents made public on Tuesday by Senator Dick Durbin claim that Kash Patel’s regular use of FBI planes meant response teams could not travel quickly when needed. Durbin said “credible whistleblowers” had raised concerns that the director’s travel choices interfered with FBI operations.
