Kash Patel ordered polygraphs for two dozen members of his team: Report
The directive targets more than two dozen current and former aides as Patel seeks to identify who shared sensitive details with reporters.
- On Thursday, FBI Director Kash Patel ordered polygraph tests for more than two dozen current and former security and staff members to identify suspected leakers within his inner circle.
- The directive follows intense scrutiny from recent reports in The Atlantic detailing alleged excessive drinking and erratic behavior, prompting Patel to hunt for internal sources who shared details with reporters.
- Sources report that Patel has increasingly isolated himself from senior Bureau leaders this week, skipping key operational briefings while attempting to secure his position amid mounting leadership concerns.
- FBI spokesman Ben Williamson denied claims of isolation, stating Patel continues regular operational meetings; however, agents describe workplace atmosphere as tense with morale exceptionally low.
- Historically, the Bureau reserves criminal leak investigations for instances where classified intelligence is compromised, making this directive a departure from standard procedure that critics characterize as paranoid.
