FBI Director Kash Patel is making bureau staff take polygraph tests to root out anyone who’s been talking trash about him, according to a report.
Patel has ramped up the FBI’s use of the lie-detector tests—often deemed too unreliable to use as evidence in criminal courts—in order to keep tabs on his own people and stamp out leaks.
But according to The New York Times, senior officials and agents are also being strapped to the machine and grilled on whether they’ve “cast aspersions” or said anything negative about Patel and his leadership.
