Political drama is heating up after the FBI’s botched early response to Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Insiders say co-Deputy Director Dan Bongino may soon be out, while FBI Director Kash Patel remains safe — for now.
Patel faced backlash after wrongly posting that the suspected killer was in custody. “Could I have worded it better? Sure,” he admitted. “But do I regret posting? Absolutely not.”
White House and DOJ officials have since defended Patel, praising his quick work in capturing suspect Tyler Robinson just 33 hours after the murder. “The suspect is in handcuffs today because of Director Patel’s outstanding work,” officials said.
Still, critics argue tensions inside the FBI are far from over. One source admitted, “People were upset, sad, angry, terrified.” Others claim Patel is “under fire” from top officials.
This high-stakes battle at the FBI is far from finished — is Patel a hero for transparency or a leader on the edge?
