A video purportedly showing Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel dancing has been circulating on social media. Multiple users shared the clip, claiming it was a leaked video from Patel’s personal email.
However, the video is old and features an unidentified man. There is no evidence linking the clip to him. The misinformation comes amid reports that Iran-linked hackers, known as ‘Handala,’ accessed Patel’s email inbox and published photographs and documents online.
A US Justice Department official confirmed the breach, noting the released material appeared authentic but did not include the dancing video. Despite this, some social media users speculated about Patel’s sexuality due to the dance moves. This assumption is false; Kash Patel is not gay and is publicly known to be in a relationship with his girlfriend, country singer Alexis Wilkins, who is significantly younger than her boyfriend.
