FBI Director Kash Patel was seen nonchalantly browsing his phone while Secret Service agents guided attendees on where to proceed after a shooting incident at the White House Congressional Dinner.
A video clip of Patel on his phone was shared on social media, sparking outrage and speculation about his role as head of security.
Patel was excluded from Cole Allen's target list in his manifesto, which was disclosed after the shooting incident.
Allen's manifesto specified his intended targets as officials from the Trump administration, but omitted FBI Director Kash Patel, sparking questions about why he was excluded.
Patel later praised Trump, stating that he serves as a source of inspiration for law enforcement officials, despite rumors of his potential departure from the Trump administration.
