After Elon issued the ultimatum that federal employees must respond to an email justifying the work they completed this week or resign, Kash Patel has instructed his employees to ignore the directive:

“FBI personnel may have received an email from OPM requesting information. The FBI, through the Office of the Director, is in charge of all of our review processes, and will conduct reviews in accordance with FBI procedures. When and if further information is required, we will coordinate the responses. For now, please pause any responses.”

NBC News corespondent, Dilanian, was the first to report the director’s announcement.
