A top Trump aide called FBI Director Kash Patel a "giant douche canoe" in private texts during debates over deploying troops to Portland.
Text messages obtained by the Minneapolis Star Tribune reveal Anthony Salisbury, a top Trump aide, called FBI Director Kash Patel a "giant douche canoe" in a private Signal chat during discussions about deploying federal troops to Portland, Oregon.
The exchange occurred while officials debated sending the 82nd Airborne to the city, though the administration ultimately sent 200 National Guard members instead.
The messages, sent in a public setting, raised concerns about the casual handling of sensitive military plans.
Salisbury was in Minnesota for a family funeral, and the White House dismissed the leak as sensationalism, noting no classified information was shared.
Patel, meanwhile, has faced scrutiny over his leadership, including firing an FBI trainee for displaying a gay pride flag.
The incident highlights internal tensions within the administration.
