"FBI Director Kash Patel reportedly spent $75,000 in taxpayer money to fly to Milan, Italy, and drink beer with the U.S. men's hockey team (under the guise of providing security at the Winter Olympics). When asked about it, his girlfriend Alexis Wilkins tried to change the subject to ... transgender mice."
"Trump and other Republicans have repeated claims about the federal government spending "$8 million for making mice transgender." The dollar figure was made by the White Coat Waste (WCW) Project, a group reportedly founded by a Republican operative."
"CNN reporter Deidre McPhillips called the claim false and noted that between 2021 and 2022, the National Institutes of Health awarded a total of $477,121 to three projects that administered feminizing hormone therapy to animals to research its effects on their immune systems."
FBI Director Kash Patel reportedly used $75,000 in taxpayer money to travel to Milan, Italy, under the premise of providing security at the Winter Olympics, but allegedly spent time drinking beer with the U.S. men's hockey team. When questioned about the expenditure, his girlfriend Alexis Wilkins deflected by raising claims about federal spending on transgender mice research. She referenced misleading assertions about an alleged $8 million government program, which Trump and other Republicans have promoted. However, CNN reporter Deidre McPhillips clarified that the National Institutes of Health actually awarded $477,121 total between 2021 and 2022 to three projects studying feminizing hormone therapy's effects on animal immune systems, not for making mice transgender.
