Kash Patel accused of directing $1m to ‘slush fund’ to pay bonuses to loyalist agents
Congressman Jamie Raskin alleges FBI director authorized substantial recurring payments to agents in his inner circle
Kash Patel, the FBI director, has been accused of directing more than $1m in taxpayer-funded bonus payments to a small circle of loyalist agents as part of a âpersonal slush fundâ that may have violated federal law.
Representative Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the ranking member of the House of Representatives judiciary committee, alleged Patel had authorized substantial recurring payments to agents in his inner circle and security detail.
According to information received by the House judiciary minority committee, some agents received payments of nearly $8,000 every two weeks, despite already earning at the federal salary ceiling. While the exact total received by each individual remains unclear, the committee says it can confirm a number of agents received at least five such payments in consecutive pay periods, amounting to close to $40,000 per person.
Kash Patel Hit With Claim of Secret FBI ‘Slush Fund’
FBI Director Kash Patel may be using his own taxpayer-funded âpersonal slush fundâ to pay his loyalists, a top Democrat says.
Congressman Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, sent Patel a letter demanding more information about $8,000 in payments made to agents who execute Patelâs âunlawful partisan and personal orders.â
Raskin said that Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee have been informed that Patel has signed off on more than $1 million in awards.
âWe have been receiving troubling reports that you may be using part of the budget of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as a personal slush fund to make tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in unlawful âbonusâ payments to loyalist MAGA henchmen who have engaged in misconduct,â Raskin wrote in a letter to Patel, reviewed by the Daily Beast, first reported by MS Now.
