US EditionMorning Joe Retracts Nightclub Allegation Against FBI Director Kash Patel
- Former FBI official Frank Figliuzzi alleged on May 2 that FBI Director Kash Patel spends more time in nightclubs than at headquarters.
- This claim followed reports that Patel has reduced daily briefings from every day to twice weekly and divides time between D.C. And Las Vegas.
- Senate Democrats have called for an investigation into Patel's use of FBI resources, focusing on his use of agency aircraft and travel expenses.

- Morning Joe co-host Jonathan Lemire clarified on May 5 that Figliuzzi’s nightclub allegation was a misstatement and has not been independently verified.
