“FBI Director Kash Patel allowed Deputy Director Dan Bongino and two other senior FBI staffers to skip standard polygraph exams, according to a Friday ProPublica report backed up by government and former bureau sources. ProPublica’s William Turton and Christopher Bing found no record of Bongino ever sitting for a polygraph, something insiders told them was ‘unprecedented.’ Instead, they found that Patel personally issued the waiver that cleared Bongino for access despite the missing exam, a step former FBI officials said they had almost never seen granted at that level. … Two other Patel-installed senior figures — congressional liaison Marshall Yates and Patel’s personal assistant Nicole Rucker — ‘did not clear their polygraph exam and were granted waivers by Patel,’ according to the report. All three ultimately received access to sensitive compartmented information (SCI), among the highest levels of classified material.” (11/14/25)
