Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley is probing FBI Director Kash Patel’s personal travel and related spending, according to reporting summarized by multiple outlets. The inquiry centers on whether Patel reimburses the government for expenses tied to his official travel.

The discussion follows earlier media reports in May that Patel took a VIP snorkel trip in Hawaii near the wreckage of a reported ship.

The coverage also indicates that the matter is being framed as an expenditures and reimbursement compliance question, rather than as a criminal allegation in the cited excerpts. The details of any reimbursement practices, responses from Patel, or further investigative steps are not fully laid out in the information summarized here.
