Kash Patel faces leak investigation

FBI Director Kash Patel has reportedly ordered dozens of staff members to undergo lie detector tests in an effort to identify the source of damaging leaks about his conduct.

The move follows an unflattering report alleging that Patel habitually drinks to excess and has alienated senior bureau officials.

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles also reportedly warned staffers about the consequences of leaking internal information to the press.

These developments highlight growing internal friction within the administration's top security agencies.

Critics argue the use of polygraphs could further damage morale and lead to a mass exodus of career professionals.
