A Democratic lawmaker is asking FBI Director Kash Patel to explain whether he directed more than $1 million in taxpayer funds toward loyal members of his team as a “personal slush fund.”
In a letter sent Monday, Representative Jamie Raskin, ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, said lawmakers had information alleging the FBI director issued bonuses of up to $40,000 to several agents, including those in an internal group known as the “director’s advisory team” and assigned to his security detail.
