Kash Patel’s Italian Trip Sparks Leaks as Hockey Time Surpasses Meetings
TL;DR
A leaked itinerary and NYT report show FBI Director Kash Patel spent roughly six-and-a-half hours at hockey games during a taxpayer-funded Milan trip for the Winter Olympics, with only a fraction of time in official meetings, prompting questions about the trip’s purpose and security implications. The FBI insists the leak is a criminal act, while supporters say the visit included productive security and counterterrorism work; critics point to private-jet use and perceived blurring of personal time and official duties, spurring calls for oversight.
