Kash Patel is not worried about new controversies

New controversy has erupted over FBI Director Kash Patel, who has been accused of spending FBI resources on personal trips.

FBI Director Kash Patel is unfazed by new controversies over his previous visits, where he allegedly mixed work with pleasure on the FBI dime. A new report claims that when Patel went on a duty tour in the South Pacific last summer, he stopped in Hawaii and went on a ‘VIP snorkel’ at one of the military’s top-secret sites – the underwater grave of the USS Arizona – which holds the remains of more than 900 Navy sailors killed at Pearl Harbor.According to Navy records, Patel swam around the grave for 30 minutes. There were nine people with Patel on snorkeling.VIP tours are common off Arizona but there is no public record available of how many VIPs are allowed to snorkel. They were also told not to touch the sunken ship in any way.The FBI said top regional commanders hosted Patel at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam “as they typically do with U.S. government officials on official visits.” The Pearl Harbor visit, the spokeswoman said, was “part of the director’s public national security engagements with counterparts in New Zealand, Australia, our Honolulu Field Office, and the War Department last August.”“It’s like having a bachelor party in a church. It’s sacred ground,” Hank Albertson, a Marine veteran, told AP News. “It should be treated with the seriousness it deserves.”Now another private trip has been reported where Patel went to Philadelphia to attend a country music festival with his girlfriend Alexis Wilkins. They arrived on the Gulfstream V government jet and were treated to a private suite, which cost more than $35,000. He watched the show from his private suite. FBI spokesman Ben Williamson said Winkins was an invited guest to the event, the NYT said.Patel appears unfazed by the onslaught of controversies and rumors that he has upset President Trump. The FBI director posted about the agency’s success in bringing Iraqi terrorist Mohammed Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi to the US to face justice.
