Trump FREAKS After Journos Expose Problem With Qatar Force One
"Kash Patel has now been directed by the White House to oversee this investigation. So much so that the investigation is not being led out of the FBI building, but from the White House itself. Trump Kash was uh Mr. Patel scuttled a planned trip to Chicago and spent roughly eight hours at the White House on Friday."
FBI Director Kash Patel is personally overseeing the investigation into New York Times journalists from the White House rather than FBI headquarters, working eight hours at the White House on Friday. This arrangement reflects what experts call a further dismantling of the traditional separation between the White House and FBI. The entire investigation stems from Trump's embarrassment over reports that his Qatari-donated plane wasn't secure enough to use, forcing him to switch to the old Air Force One.
