A 115-page report compiled by an alliance of active-duty and retired FBI agents and analysts assessed the first six months of FBI Director Kash Patel's tenure, describing the bureau as a rudderless ship and concluding that Patel is in over his head.

A 115-page report compiled by an alliance of active-duty and retired FBI agents and analysts assessed the first six months of FBI Director Kash Patel's tenure, describing the bureau as a rudderless ship and concluding that Patel is in over his head.

The report, set to be presented to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, includes accounts from 24 FBI sources and sub-sources who criticized Patel for lacking the requisite experience and measured self-confidence needed to serve as FBI director.

On Sept. 11, 2025, the day after conservative activist Charlie Kirk's assassination in Utah, Patel reportedly refused to disembark from an FBI jet without an official raid jacket and later complained when a borrowed jacket from a female agent lacked Velcro patches on the sleeves.

Deputy Director Dan Bongino, who was described in the report as something of a clown, dismissed the assessment as gossipy nonsense and stated that people upset at FBI reforms leak information to media outlets with a clear agenda while ignoring historic results.

Multiple sources in the report criticized both Patel and Bongino for spending too much time on social media and public relations, with FBI employees reportedly learning about bureau operations through leadership's social media posts rather than official internal channels.

White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson stated that FBI Director Patel is a critical member of the president's team and is working tirelessly to restore integrity to the FBI, while President Trump has denied reports that he is considering removing Patel from his position.
