FBI Director Kash Patel used a government plane to fly to Italy and planned to watch the Winter Olympics, according to a report.

According to CBS News, "Public flight data reviewed by CBS News showed the FBI director took off on a government plane Thursday morning for an Air Force base in Italy, after a brief flight from Manassas, Virginia, to Joint Base Andrews, in Maryland Wednesday. Sources also confirmed to CBS News that Patel was en route to Milan, where he is planning to watch the Men's USA Olympic hockey team compete in the medal rounds."

The FBI denied that the trip was illegitimate because Patel also plans to meet with foreign law enforcement officials.
