Internal FBI agents reportedly complained about the last-minute Chicago visit. The FBI’s Rapid Response account and a White House official both denied the claims, saying Patel was summoned for official business and never boarded a plane. Amid the chaos, the FBI continues to tout Patel’s leadership, citing historic lows in crime under his tenure. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
