Kash Patel departed Washington, D.C. on February 19 for weekend meetings with Italian law enforcement and the U.S. Ambassador to Italy. While there, he also attended the final two men's hockey games.
He flew to Milan on an FBI Gulfstream G550 business jet. A non-stop flight from Washington, D.C. is almost 10 hours in duration. The hourly operating costs of a G550 jet aircraft is between $6,000 and $9,500 per hour.
Mr. Patel returned to Washington, D.C. on the FBI aircraft on February 23.
While in Milan, Mr. Patel celebrated the U.S. men's hockey team's gold medal win with a beer. That beer cost taxpayers no less than $120,000. I hope we enjoyed it.

There is no problem with non-citizens voting in our elections. Evidence: Georgia has 8.2 million registered voters and 20 are not citizens, and none of them voted in the last election. The conservative Heritage Foundation found 24 non-citizens voted in the last decade of elections in this country. All 2020 Presidential vote recounts found no discrepancies of any consequence. In Maricopa county's recount Biden got 6 more votes than in the original count. Our elections are safe and secure. So why make it harder for millions to vote with the requirements in the SAFE act? The bill would require women to have the same name on their voter registration as on their birth certificate. Millions of women took their husband's last name when they were married, my wife included. Trump knows elections are secure, so this is one way he can stop a group from voting.
