FBI and Government Oversight

House Democrats have launched a probe into Kash Patel’s use of an FBI Gulfstream for personal travel, requesting flight logs, passenger manifests, costs and communications by Dec. 15, 2025, after flagging trips that included a Nashville return flight, a four-day Texas trip hosted by GOP donor Bubba Saulsbury and a Pennsylvania wrestling‑event visit with girlfriend Alexis Wilkins. Patel told Fox News he is required to use FBI aircraft and not permitted to fly commercially, said he has used the plane less than his predecessors, claimed switching to government airfields saved taxpayers $4 million, acknowledged trips with his girlfriend and said he has turned over travel-related information.
