I am writing to demand immediate congressional investigation into FBI Director Kash Patel and other administration officials who are allegedly using taxpayer funds as personal slush funds. Recent reports indicate that Patel used public money to attend the Olympics, inserting himself into Team USA Hockey's locker room celebration after their historic gold medal victory over Canada. This was the first Olympic gold for American hockey since the Miracle on Ice in 1980, a moment that should have belonged to the athletes, not a government official on a taxpayer-funded junket. This is not an isolated incident but appears to be part of a broader pattern of corruption within the administration. When public officials treat the Treasury as their personal expense account, they betray the trust of every American who pays taxes expecting responsible stewardship of those funds. The misuse of taxpayer money for personal travel and photo opportunities represents a fundamental breach of public service ethics. I am calling on you to take three specific actions. First, launch a formal congressional investigation into Patel's use of taxpayer funds for Olympic attendance and any other questionable expenditures by him and Secretary Kristi Noem. Second, support legislation to strengthen oversight mechanisms and penalties for misuse of public funds by executive branch officials. Third, pursue removal from office and criminal prosecution where evidence warrants such action. Government accountability is not a partisan issue. Constituents across the political spectrum expect their tax dollars to fund essential services and legitimate government functions, not luxury travel for political appointees seeking publicity. The American people deserve transparency about how their money is being spent and consequences for those who abuse their positions. I expect you to prioritize this investigation and keep me informed of concrete steps being taken to hold these officials accountable.
