FBI Loosens Background-Check Standards Under Director Kash Patel
According to CBS News sources, the FBI has quietly relaxed vetting standards for new hires, now permitting candidates with a history of paying for sex up to three times and even those with juvenile incidents of bestiality or animal cruelty, provided they occurred before age 18. The bureau says such allowances are limited to narrow cases, including childhood sexual abuse involving animals, but sources say no distinction is made between willing and coerced acts.
