华盛顿，2月24日（路透社） – 周二，一名资深参议院民主党议员援引一份举报人报告称，联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔的个人出行和决策已损害了备受瞩目的调查工作。
参议院司法委员会最高民主党议员迪克·杜宾在致两名政府监督机构的信中写道，帕特尔”似乎以美国纳税人的利益为代价，以司法部和联邦调查局运营的飞机进行了相当于不负责任的兜风，这对联邦调查局正在进行的行动造成了损害。”

一名举报人告诉杜宾的助手，由于帕特尔的个人出行导致飞行员短缺，联邦调查局的枪击事件重建团队延误了对犹他大学的响应，而保守派活动家查理·柯克于9月在该校遇刺。
根据杜宾的信件，飞行员在驾驶这支负责分析和重建枪击现场的调查团队前往犹他州之前，必须完成强制性休息期。路透社无法独立核实举报人提出的指控。联邦调查局尚未立即回应对这些指控的置评请求。但联邦调查局发言人本·威廉姆森在X平台（原推特）的帖子中驳斥了批评，称杜宾”满嘴胡言”。

这些披露加剧了对帕特尔乘坐联邦调查局飞机的纳税人资金旅行的审查。帕特尔前往意大利米兰参加奥运会的行程引起了广泛关注，视频显示，在周日美国男子冰球队赢得金牌后，他在更衣室与队员一起庆祝，浑身沾满啤酒。
威廉姆森此前表示，帕特尔在意大利是执行公务，与外国官员和负责奥运会安全的美国人员举行了会议。帕特尔曾表示，联邦调查局局长根据法律规定必须乘坐政府飞机出行。
杜宾要求美国政府问责局（国会的研究机构）调查这些新指控，并要求司法部内部监督机构调查帕特尔的出行情况。
举报人还表示，帕特尔的决策导致12月布朗大学大规模枪击事件响应调查人员的延误。

- Summary
- Whistleblower alleges FBI team delayed in reaching Kirk assassination site
- Patel has faced scrutiny over travel following Olympics trip
- FBI spokesman dismisses criticism
WASHINGTON, Feb 24 (Reuters) – A top Senate Democrat alleged on Tuesday that FBI Director Kash Patel’s personal travel and decision-making have undermined high-profile investigations, citing a whistleblower report.
Senator Dick Durbin, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, wrote in a letter to two government watchdogs that Patel has “seemingly engaged in what amounts to irresponsible joyriding on DOJ and FBI-operated aircraft at the expense of the American taxpayer and to the detriment of ongoing Bureau operations.”

A whistleblower told Durbin’s staff that the FBI’s shooting reconstruction team was delayed in responding to the Utah university where conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated in September because of a pilot shortage caused by Patel’s personal travel.
Pilots had to complete a mandatory rest period before flying the team of investigators, tasked with analyzing and reconstructing shooting scenes, to Utah, according to Durbin’s letter. Reuters could not independently verify the whistleblower’s claims. The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the allegations. But FBI spokesperson Ben Williamson dismissed the criticism in an X post, saying Durbin was “full of it.”

The disclosures added to scrutiny of Patel’s taxpayer-funded trips on FBI planes. Patel’s trip to the Olympics in Milan, Italy drew widespread attention after videos showed his beer-soaked locker-room celebration with the U.S. men’s hockey team following their gold medal win on Sunday.
Williamson said previously that Patel was in Italy on official business and attended meetings with foreign officials and U.S. personnel handling security at the Olympics. Patel has said the FBI director is legally required to travel on government planes.
Durbin requested the Government Accountability Office, a research arm of Congress, investigate the new claims and the Justice Department’s internal watchdog examine Patel’s travel.
The whistleblower also said Patel’s decisions delayed investigators tasked with responding to a mass shooting at Brown University in December.
