FBI Director Kash Patel has launched a sweeping internal crackdown, ordering lie detector tests for more than two dozen current and former members of his security detail. The extraordinary step, aimed at rooting out suspected leakers inside his tightest circle, comes as the embattled director faces mounting pressure over a string of damaging headlines.
Sources familiar with the situation describe Patel as operating in a state of heightened alarm to secure his position. The directive targets individuals with intimate knowledge of his schedule, including several information technology personnel.
