Kash Patel's first actions as FBI head leave onlookers puzzled

New FBI Director Kash Patel hit the ground running with a to do list once he took over — and his priorities have left some puzzled.

On Thursday, the Wall Street Journal walked through Patel's first actions.

"He told officials he planned to spend a lot of time in Las Vegas, where he was living last year," the report said. 'He ordered new decor for his Washington office, and asked for his personal trainer to be cleared to enter the building for his workouts, among other changes."

Meanwhile, he's been living it up in Washington. In the past, FBI directors wouldn't attend social events, "to avoid being alone with a lawmaker or chief executive who might make an uncomfortable request," the Journal reported.

Patel was at the British ambassador's residence on Wednesday for a party, the report said.

He's also telling agents that they shouldn't be concerned about being so formally dressed.

“I’m not planning on wearing a suit, and I don’t expect you to wear one,” Patel said, according to the report.

While Patel intends to run the FBI, he was also sworn in to oversee the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

"Justice Department officials haven’t publicly explained how he plans to oversee both agencies simultaneously, something no previous FBI director appears to have done. Both are components of the Justice Department," the Journal reported.

News Nation reported it's made the future of the ATF look uncertain.

Patel said in a podcast that he intended to empty out the FBI office on "Day 1," and send agents into the states to serve in the offices there, NPR recalled. President Donald Trump's administration hasn't indicated yet whether the D.C. headquarters will close.

However, on his first day, Patel demanded 1,500 FBI agents be relocated to cities with high crime rates.

"Another FBI official piped in with a harsh reality, according to people familiar with the exchange: Each move could cost up to $100,000, and the bureau didn’t have the funds to cover such a restructuring," the official told Journal.

The report also indicated Patel wants a partnership between the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship)and FBI.
