Kash Patel (Kashyap Pramod Patel) was confirmed as the 9th Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation on February 20, 2025, following President Trump's second inauguration. A former federal prosecutor and national security official, Patel previously served as Chief of Staff to the Secretary of Defense and on the National Security Council during Trump's first term.
As FBI Director, Patel is required by federal policy to use the DOJ's Gulfstream G550 (N708JH) for security reasons — both for official travel and personal trips, for which he must reimburse the government. The aircraft attracted intense public scrutiny after tracking showed Patel using it for flights to Las Vegas, Hawaii, and visits to his girlfriend's hometown. Former FBI agent Kyle Seraphin and reporters from The Intercept published guides to tracking N708JH using ADS-B Exchange, despite Patel's reported efforts to block the aircraft from public tracking databases.
The G550, owned by the Department of Justice and registered to an address at 935 Pennsylvania Avenue NW (FBI HQ), is one of several Gulfstream jets in the federal government's fleet used for senior official transport. In 2025, members of Congress demanded Patel reimburse taxpayers and produce records of personal flights, lavish vacations, and date nights charged to the government.
