Patel once called for ending FBI director's government jet use. Now he won't reveal if he's a frequent flyer.

Two years ago, Kash Patel emerged as a vocal critic of then-FBI Director Christopher Wray for his use of the government's fleet of private aircraft for personal travel.

The FBI should "ground Chris Wray's private jet that he pays for with taxpayer dollars to hop around the country," Patel said during his "Kash's Corner" podcast in 2023.

Now, Patel himself is the director, and questions have begun circulating inside the FBI about the degree to which Patel is using governmental airplanes for his personal travels.
