"FBI directors are required to use government aircraft for personal or business travel in order to maintain secure communications. But public attention of Patel’s weekend outing—fueled by an X post from a former FBI agent turned outspoken Patel critic—comes after Patel had criticized predecessors for personal travel on taxpayer-funded jets."
It seems like the solution is to change this policy. Not fire the guy following policy.
Is the House going to have to confront Epstein legislation this week?

Kash Patel was the one who did the traveling via jet but Steven Palmer, "head of the critical incident response group—which includes FBI pilots", was the one who got fired by Patel. I read the article but no idea why Palmer got fired for this. The jet use is publicly available apparently.
