However, officials acknowledged that select government and military dignitaries have occasionally been granted access over the years.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2201\" data-end=\"2374\">Former government divers familiar with operations at the memorial told AP that no FBI director dating back to at least 1993 had previously participated in such an excursion.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2376\" data-end=\"2527\">Emails obtained through public records requests showed military personnel coordinated logistics for what was internally referred to as a \u201cVIP Snorkel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2529\" data-end=\"2684\">The National Park Service, which jointly manages the memorial with the Navy, said it was not involved in Patel\u2019s excursion and declined to comment further.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2686\" data-end=\"2781\">Some veterans criticised the decision to allow political figures access to the restricted site.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2783\" data-end=\"2965\">\u201cIt\u2019s like having a bachelor party at a church. It\u2019s hallowed ground,\u201d said Marine veteran Hack Albertson, who participates in authorised dives to monitor the condition of the wreck.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2967\" data-end=\"3152\">Others, including some relatives of Pearl Harbor survivors, said they did not object to rare official visits but questioned why family members themselves are not granted similar access.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3154\" data-end=\"3292\">The controversy adds to broader scrutiny surrounding Patel\u2019s leadership and use of government resources during his tenure as FBI director.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3294\" data-end=\"3570\">Earlier this year, Patel also faced criticism after appearing in celebratory locker room footage with members of the US men\u2019s hockey team during the Winter Olympics in Milan. Patel later defended that trip, saying it was connected to an international cybercrime investigation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3572\" data-end=\"3907\">Patel\u2019s Hawaii stop came shortly after official visits to Australia and New Zealand, where he opened the FBI\u2019s first standalone office in New Zealand. That visit also sparked controversy after reports emerged that Patel had gifted local officials inoperable 3D-printed replica pistols that reportedly violated New Zealand firearm laws.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3909\" data-end=\"4132\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Flight records reviewed by AP showed the FBI\u2019s Gulfstream jet remained in Hawaii for two nights before continuing to Las Vegas, Patel\u2019s adopted hometown.
