Kash Patel's meltdown over a jacket [View all]

The damaging new dossier, obtained by the New York Post's Miranda Devine, detailed an embarrassing tantrum Patel allegedly threw after the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.

Patel reportedly flew into Provo, Utah, on September 11, the day after the assassination, and refused to 'disembark from the plane without an FBI raid jacket.'
He did not have his own, and was so concerned about the optics that he pulled Salt Lake City FBI field agents from the investigation and ordered them to find him a medium-sized jacket.

They eventually tracked down one he could wear but embarrassingly, it belonged to a female agent.

Patel was reportedly fuming when he received the jacket and erupted when he noticed 'two areas on the upper sleeves did not have Velcro patches attached', and still refused to step off the plane.

Ultimately, 'members of an FBI SWAT Team took patches off their uniforms and ran those patches over' to stop Patel's outburst.
Only then did he disembark the plane, the report claims.
