  • FBI Director Kash Patel, who was sworn into the role on Feb. 21, is facing scrutiny for allegedly using government aircraft to attend sporting events and visit his girlfriend. Patel used Department of Justice aircraft for multiple high-profile appearances, including flying on Air Force One to Miami for a UFC event with President Donald Trump on April 12, according to The York Times. It's unclear whether Patel used government aircraft to watch these events, but a Boeing 757 owned by the DOJ landed at JFK Airport shortly before the April 6 game and departed soon after it ended.

Kash Patel, a former Trump administration official and current board member of the nonprofit group that published the "Twitter Files," is under scrutiny for allegedly misusing funds from the organization. According to a report by The Daily Beast, Patel, who serves on the board of the Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology, is accused of using the group's money to fund his own projects and pay for personal expenses. The allegations come as Patel has been a vocal critic of the FBI and has been involved in efforts to expose alleged government overreach and censorship on social media platforms. The Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology has not yet responded to the allegations against Patel.
