FBI Director Kash Patel said he has been forced to divert agents to investigate "copycats" of potential threats to President Donald Trump as a result of former FBI Director James Comey’s "86 47" social media post.

FBI Director Kash Patel has come under scrutiny by Democrats on Capitol Hill after The New York Times reported unease within the bureau and the use of polygraphs to find leaks. Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) questioned Patel earlier this month and joins Alex Witt today to discuss the FBI and Elon Musk’s exit from DOGE leadership.

Patel has not released any official comment regarding his decision to close the office. But Elizabeth Goitein, senior director at the Brennan Center for Justice, told Gizmodo via email, “It is hard to square this move with Mr. Patel’s own stated concerns about the FBI’s use of Section 702.”

FBI Director Kash Patel details the bureau's commitment to transparency and providing answers Americans 'deserve' during a 'Special Report' exclusive.

Former FBI Director James Comey aired his "doubts" about the current bureau leadership, Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, in a televised interview after his own recent dust-up related to President Donald Trump.

Kash Patel and Dan Bongino spent years torching the American security state for concealing nefarious secrets about Jeffrey Epstein, Jan. 6, the "Russia hoax" and the assassination attempts against President Trump.
