Kash Patel to Be Ousted as FBI Director? Lapse in Charlie Kirk Assassination in Focus
Kash Patel faces criticism from lawmakers and officials over misstatements and leadership amid FBI internal conflicts following the assassination investigation of Charlie Kirk.
- FBI Director Kash Patel faced criticism after his handling of the Sept. 10, 2025, investigation into Charlie Kirk's shooting in Utah.
- Shortly following the shooting, Patel was reported to have eaten dinner at a high-end New York establishment and openly criticized Utah officials, actions that prompted criticism from multiple current and former law enforcement representatives.
- Sources reported Patel prematurely announced on X that a suspect was in custody before law enforcement confirmed, and he traveled to Utah before an arrest, raising questions about his judgment.
- Christopher O'Leary, an MSNBC contributor and former FBI counterterrorism official, criticized Patel for lacking leadership skills, while representatives from the White House responded by highlighting Patel’s tireless efforts and condemned the criticism as a politically motivated and inappropriate response during a difficult time.
- Patel's conduct has led to scrutiny from federal and local officials and calls by conservatives to assess his suitability as FBI director, though President Trump expressed confidence after a Sept. 13 meeting.
