The leaking of his minute-by-minute schedule is a criminal act that jeopardizes security and will not be taken lightly, said Ben Williamson, the assistant director for the FBIs Public Affairs office, speaking with the Times.
On Saturday, for instance, Patels schedule included a single 20-minute briefing with the Olympic security team, a brief tour of the joint security operations center, and a private lunch with an unlisted guest.
The period between 2 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. was reserved for what was listed as personal time/cultural activities, followed by a private dinner with unspecified companions, the Times report reads.
Patel has faced scrutiny for his use of public resources, including the recent accusation that his use of an FBI jet along with a directive he issued that left FBI officials confused delayed the agency from responding to the mass shooting at Brown University last year. He also faced scrutiny for allegedly using an FBI jet to travel to Nashville, Tennessee to watch his then-27-year-old girlfriend, a country music singer, perform on stage.
