An escalating series of technical snafus interrupted the FBI director’s victory lap on Venezuela.
FBI Director Kash Patel suffered through a series of embarrassing malfunctions as he appeared on Fox News to heap praise on the Trump administration’s Venezuela operation.on Monday morning about President Donald Trump’s lightning invasion of Venezuela over the weekend to successfully capture the country’s despotic ruler, Nicolas Maduro.
Staff at the Fox studio seemed on the backfoot from the very start, with one employee heard screaming over a radio, “Guys, you cannot be adjusting his light!” as Patel tried to talk about Saturday night’s shocking raid.The radio then continued to sound out as Patel gushed about the role played by the FBI in Maduro’s seizure. Dubbed ‘Keystone Kash’ over what critics describe as his bumbling oversight of several high-profile investigations, Patel’s troubles didn’t end there.Rounding off the segment, host Brian Kilmeade attempted to ask the FBI director if he thought Dan Bongino, who leaves office Monday as Patel’s deputy director, had done “a great job.” Unfortunately for Patel, the studio apparently cut him off before Kilmeade had even finished his sentence. The Daily Beast has reached out to the network to clarify what technical difficulties may have prevented Patel from answering.Bongino’s departure comes after less than a year on the job. In that time, the FBI has faced repeated backlash over its handling of a number of high-profile probes—from the manhunt for far-right activist Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer, to the release of heavily redacted new documents on the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted pedophile and one-time associate of Donald Trump. Formerly a key proponent of conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein’s crimes and death, Bongino has not publicly given a reason for his resignation beyond saying it was “the honor of a lifetime” to serve Trump alongside Patel.
