'Purposely planned that trip': Patel reveals SHOCKING cyber arrests during Milan Olympics visit
Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) asked FBI Director Kash Patel during a Tuesday hearing how a beer-chugging trip to the Olympics helped in his mission and what exactly it cost American taxpayers. At a Senate hearing, Coons asked Patel about his viral trip, from which a video of the FBI director pounding a beer after Team USA’s victory over Canada went viral. Patel said he kept a separate mission “quiet” and purposefully timed it around the Olympics. “Hs I mentioned in my opening, the top cyber criminal from the [Chinese Communist Party] was housed in Italian custody. That while there we were able to work an agreement, an arrangement to have that individual expelled from Italy instead of going back to China, like has so often happened in places like Serbia. And so we accomplished that mission and we kept it quiet and that individual was returned to America two weeks ago,” he said.
