Kash Patel, the FBI Director, is facing criticism following a report by Sarah Fitzpatrick of The Atlantic, which details his practice of distributing personalized bourbon bottles engraved with his name and the FBI shield during official duties. The report highlights an incident from March at a training seminar in Quantico, Virginia, where a case of these bottles went missing, resulting in a strong reaction from Patel, including threats of polygraph tests against staff. Multiple sources, including retired FBI agent Kurt Siuzdak, described the situation as chaotic. The report also mentions that Patel has been known to transport these bottles on Justice Department flights and gift them during various events, including a trip to Milan during the Winter Olympics, which reportedly frustrated former President Donald Trump. Amidst this controversy, FBI agents have expressed discomfort with their assignment to investigate a leaker, fearing job repercussions. Despite the turmoil, Patel has chosen to focus on his work, sharing a recent success story about rescuing a missing teenager on social media.
