"Patel dismissed the reports as fake news while Ben Williamson, the FBI's Assistant Director for Public Affairs, defended the usage, saying Patel pays a reimbursement in advance for such flights. Kash is not required to reimburse the government for the entire cost of the jet, the tens of thousands of dollars per flight. He just has to pay the commercial equivalent, she said. She noted Patel himself had criticized government officials using government-funded private jets, including former FBI Director Chris Wray."
"She added, You are in the exact same position as Chris Wray, and you are now standing for everything you once stood against. The conservative pundit laughed at the idea that Patel represents a transparent administration. I thought you were The Transparent Administration?' That's what you were running on. You wanted everything exposed! You wanted the Epstein list revealed. You wanted everything about JFK revealed."
Brett Cooper criticized FBI Director Kash Patel over reports that he used a government jet to see his girlfriend perform. Patel dismissed the reports as fake news while FBI spokesman Ben Williamson defended the flights and said Patel pays a reimbursement in advance. Cooper argued Patel only pays the commercial equivalent, not the full government cost, and noted Patel previously criticized other officials, including former director Chris Wray, for similar travel. Cooper called Patel hypocritical for adopting practices he once condemned and questioned Patel's commitment to the administration’s transparency rhetoric.
