FBI Director Kash Patel is facing backlash after he was filmed scrolling through his phone while security forces rushed guests to safety during a shooting scare near a high-profile Washington dinner attended by US President Donald Trump.
The incident took place on Saturday night outside the Washington Hilton, where the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner was taking place. As Secret Service agents moved to secure the area and escort attendees to safety, Patel was seen in a clip going viral on social media appearing relaxed, first speaking on his phone and then scrolling through it.
