The F.B.I. Is Using Polygraphs to Test Officials’ Loyalty: Report
UNITED STATES, JUL 10 – The FBI requires dozens of senior officials to take polygraphs to assess loyalty and identify leaks, including questions about negative comments on Director Kash Patel, officials said.
- Under Director Kash Patel, the FBI has increased polygraph examinations to evaluate employees' loyalty, including probing their personal opinions about Patel himself.
- This rise comes after Patel took charge and amid increased efforts by President Trump's appointees to suppress unauthorized disclosures and discourage criticism within the agency.
- High-Ranking personnel have been interviewed about whether they made negative remarks about Kash Patel or his assistant Dan Bongino, with some ex-agents suggesting these inquiries were driven by political motives.
- About 40% of FBI field office leaders have left or been reassigned since these changes, and loyal employees fear punishment despite passing polygraph tests.
- Critics warn this shift undermines trust, departs from traditional security assessments, and enforces ideological conformity within the bureau's workforce.
