FBI Director Kash Patel completely tore into a bombshell report cited in an op-ed published by the New York Post earlier this week, detailing various issues at the bureau under his leadership, calling him “in over his head” and his deputy, Dan Bongino, “something of a clown.”
The 115-page report compiled by multiple anonymous internal sources described the FBI under Patel as a “rudderless ship” and “all f–ked up,” slamming his professionalism, claiming he is “spending too much time on social media and public relations.”
Patel slammed the overall report on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” Tuesday, saying, “These anonymous sources were individuals from the Comey-Wray era that weaponized the Department of Justice and cratered the public trust in the FBI to something that was at levels that has never been seen.”
One damning incident included in the report described Patel on Sept. 11, the day after conservative podcaster Charlie Kirk was assassinated while speaking in Utah. Patel flew in to assist in the investigation, but “would not disembark from the plane without an FBI raid jacket.”
“Patel apparently did not have his own FBI raid jacket with him and refused to step from the plane without wearing one,” the report, citing a highly respected agent, read.
