‘It’s chaos:’ FBI boss Kash Patel spends more time in nightclubs than office, ex-official claims

A former high-ranking FBI official has claimed that Director Kash Patel is nowadays spending more time in nightclubs than in the office, leading to chaos within the department.

Speaking to MSNBC on Friday (May 2), Frank Figliuzzi, who served as the FBI’s Assistant Director for Counterintelligence under Robert Mueller, raised serious questions on Patel’s commitment to his role.

“Reportedly, he’s been visible at nightclubs far more than he has been on the seventh floor of the Hoover building,” Figliuzzi said. He further claimed that Patel was no longer receiving briefings daily.

“And there are reports that daily briefings to him have been changed from every day to maybe twice weekly,” the former official claimed.

Multiple reports indicate that Kash Patel, a close associate of Donald Trump , has been spending a significant amount of time away from Washington DC. He’s reportedly been dividing his time between his office at the Hoover Building and his residence in Las Vegas.

“So this is both a blessing and a curse,” Figliuzzi said. “Because if he’s really trying to run things without his experience, without any experience level, things could be bad. If he’s not plugged in, things could be bad. But he’s allowing agents to run things so we don’t know where this is going.”

“But the one word that keeps coming back at me from inside is that the building is chaos. People don’t know what’s happening from day to day,” he told MSNBC host.

Recently, Democratic members of the Senate called for an official investigation into Patel’s use of FBI resources, specifically the agency’s private aircraft.

CBS News has reported that the US Government Accountability Office might soon conduct an inquiry into the details and expenses of Patel’s travels, and whether any personal trips were wrongly charged to taxpayers.

Additionally, The Washington Post reported that in response to these news reports, Patel has allegedly directed that polygraph tests be administered within the FBI. This action is believed to be an attempt to identify individuals suspected of “leaking” information to the media.

One FBI spokesperson recently said, “The seriousness of the specific leaks in question precipitated the polygraphs, as they involved potential damage to security protocols at the bureau.”
