Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley sought information from FBI Director Kash Patel over his use of the bureau’s private jets and other spending, in a previously undisclosed letter that adds bipartisan heft to similar oversight efforts from Democrats.
The May letter from the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman was reviewed by NOTUS on Thursday, as Patel prepares for a scheduled trip to the FBI field office in Chicago on Friday. Patel’s girlfriend, country singer Alexis Wilkins, is scheduled to perform in Chicago on Saturday.
Patel has faced questions from Democrats about his travel and use of private planes for months, while Republican lawmakers have largely been silent.
