Kash Patel has been stung by a leak from British intelligence following a dramatic dispute over his armed security detail ahead of a dinner attended by King Charles. Soon after the FBI agent was reassigned to the US, saving the agency money but left British spy officials shocked, according to NY Times. British cops, moreover, demanded Patel's security detail not be armed due to the country's strict gun control laws. McCallum, according to the Times, is a mild-mannered Scotsman known for his cozy relationship with Patel's FBI predecessor Christopher Wray. It is not clear if Patel was aware of that development before he made his promise to British security officials.
