WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump was disappointed in FBI Director Kash Patel’s behavior at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics and conveyed his displeasure in a conversation with him, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Patel went viral for his locker-room celebration with the U.S. men’s hockey team after its win against Canada on Sunday — the first time the U.S. team took home gold since 1980. In a video that was first posted by ProPublica, Patel, an avid hockey fan, could be seen chugging a beer and banging on a table, while yelling in an exuberant display of celebration.

Trump — who does not drink — told Patel he was unhappy not only with that scene, but also with Patel’s use of government aircraft for the trip to Milan, Italy, according to the person familiar with the matter.

The FBI declined to comment on whether Trump was upset with Patel.
