"Kash Patel has ordered the polygraphing of more than two dozen former and current members of his security detail and other staff and has been described as in panic mode to save his job and find leakers among his team. That is according to two people briefed on the development. Kash Patel has walled himself off from some senior bureau leaders this week in the wake of multiple media reports that raised red flags about his leadership."
"What's more, Patel reportedly avoided meeting with operational leaders at the FBI this week, raising fears that Patel is out of the loop on important investigations and threats. A spokesperson for the FBI declined to comment about the polygraph test, but he denied that Kash Patel was walled off from senior staff at the FBI."
"Well, I'm not a lawyer. I just play one on TV. But as a reporter, Nicolle, you know, this is a person hunting for leakers pretty actively. And I think you've raised this point before, which is a smart one: how do you claim you're defamed but also hunt for people who released information that you believe may be as sensitive or is somehow protected?"
