"FBI director Kash Patel has faced criticism in recent days after a trip he undertook to Italy last week. During his time there, he partied with the US men's ice hockey team following their win of a gold medal. Patel flew to Italy on a taxpayer-funded FBI plane."
"However, a video of him partying with the team in their locker room comes in the wake of other criticism Patel has received over his use of FBI flights. For example, last November, it emerged he used an FBI jet to travel to Pennsylvania to watch his girlfriend, country singer Alexis Wilkins, sing the national anthem at a wrestling match."
"The latest person to drag Patel over the locker room video is New York Governor Kathy Hochul. Like Gavin Newsom in California, her official press office account on X is not afraid to mock Republican hypocrisy. The Hochul press office wondered if Patel would seek a taxpayer-funded trip to check out the iconic love nest."
FBI Director Kash Patel has drawn criticism following a trip to Italy where he partied with the US men's ice hockey team after their gold medal win. The FBI stated the trip was official business, citing meetings with Italian law enforcement and the U.S. ambassador. However, video evidence of him in the team's locker room has intensified scrutiny. This incident follows previous controversy over his use of FBI jets for personal purposes, including traveling to Pennsylvania to watch his girlfriend sing the national anthem at a wrestling match. New York Governor Kathy Hochul's press office mocked the situation on social media, questioning whether taxpayers would fund additional personal trips.
