flag FBI Director Kash Patel bypassed polygraph requirements for top appointees, sparking security and ethics concerns.

flag FBI Director Kash Patel granted polygraph waivers to Deputy Director Dan Bongino and two other senior appointees, bypassing standard vetting for high-level security clearances, according to ProPublica and multiple sources. flag The move, described as unprecedented, allowed individuals with no prior FBI experience and controversial pasts to access classified information without completing required polygraph exams. flag The FBI denied the claims, asserting all employees pass background checks, but a formal complaint was filed by an FBI Security Division employee. flag The situation has sparked concerns over compromised security protocols and raised broader scrutiny of Patel’s leadership, including ethics issues and internal staffing changes.
