Kash Patel's Complaint About Personal Travel Resurfaces After Olympics Party Moment
HuffPost
The FBI director wasn't a fan of using government jets for personal travel before he got the job himself.
Old comments by FBI Director Kash Patel are coming back to haunt him after he was seen partying with Team USA in Italy after their hockey victory at the Olympics.
“I’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacation,” he said in 2023, referring to the then-director of the FBI. “Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”
He’s made similar comments on other occasions.
“You ground Chris Wray’s private jet that he pays for with taxpayer dollars to hop around the country,” he said on his podcast that same year, according to The Associated Press. “You take away the fancy new fleet of cars from DOJ that they’re going to use to shuffle around executives.”
Now, however, he’s facing heat over hopping around the country, and the world, in those same jets.
