Summary

Kash Patel, the newly appointed FBI director, plans to work remotely from Las Vegas rather than from Washington, D.C.

His residence there, owned by GOP megadonor Michael Muldoon—who has been accused of fraudulent time-share schemes—raises ethical concerns.

Muldoon has ties to law enforcement figures and has financially supported Nevada politicians who overlooked complaints against him.

Patel and Muldoon share business connections and even traveled together while Patel was a federal official, potentially violating ethics rules.

His arrangement fuels concerns about conflicts of interest in the Trump administration.

    Whoa whoa whoa. The federal government got rid of their remote work policy. He needs to be in the office for the culture, collaboration, and promote synergy.

    Also, hahahahahaha conflict of interest. This administration doesn’t give 2 shits about conflicts of interest. If it did, Musk wouldn’t keep getting contracts. I’m surprised Trump hasn’t given him a contract to use Twitter.

      Also - if assholes like fElon and Bronzo the Clown were able to make it happen, they’d force everyone, even private sector back to the office.
