FBI response to Brown mass shooting was delayed because Kash Patel was in Florida with one of the agency's jets: report

A whistleblower is claiming that FBI Director Kash Patel’s use of a bureau jet delayed the law enforcement agency's ability to respond to the Brown University mass shooting late last year.

Agents from the FBI's evidence response team were reportedly delayed in reaching Brown University following a December mass shooting, which left two dead and nine injured, because Patel reportedly had the plane in Florida.

A whistleblower gave an account of the situation to Senator Richard Durbin, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee. He sent a letter to the Government Accountability Office and the Justice Department's Inspector General’s office on Tuesday accusing Patel of hindering the agency's ability to conduct critical investigative tasks by misusing its resources, according to MS NOW.

Patel was reportedly in South Florida with one jet and had placed a hold on the second jet for another FBI team that would not typically respond to the scene of a mass shooting, according to sources who spoke to the broadcaster. The sources said Patel was in Florida on the day of the shooting and did not fly back until the following day.
