Patel defends travel, vehicle acquisition ahead of hearing

FBI Director Kash Patel defended his personal travel and the agency's acquisition of luxury armored BMWs during his leadership. These expenditures have faced scrutiny, and Patel is scheduled to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday morning. Democrats on the panel intend to question the Trump administration official regarding his use of funds. Separately, the NSSC provides travel reimbursement services for authorized domestic, foreign, and local travel, adhering to Federal Travel Regulations and specific per diem rates.
