FBI Director Kash Patel spotted at wedding with former double-agent informant

Kash Patel, the director of the FBI, spent his weekend at the wedding of former acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba and her new husband Turhan Mildon. Among the guests were federal prosecutor Sigal Chattah and Ali Abdelaziz, a former UFC manager who had served as an informant for both the NYPD and the FBI before being dismissed over suspicions that he was a double agent. According to a 2013 book, Abdelaziz was originally hired to spy on a Muslim advocacy group and was later subjected to a polygraph that raised doubts about his loyalty.

The FBI’s effort to deport him failed, and he has since resurfaced in public events. A photo shared by Chattah shows Patel standing beside Abdelaziz, marking at least the second time the two have been photographed together. Critics have questioned Patel’s association with someone previously labeled a security risk, especially given the controversial background of other wedding attendees.
