FBI Director Kash Patel was pictured in a pink Lego Cadillac ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix on Saturday, amidst growing criticism over his personal trips and spending of taxpayer dollars.

Patel and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem were pictured in the life-size Lego car, as well as on the red carpet with Formula One CEO Stefano Domenicali before the race, Reuters reported.

Although it was not immediately clear how either of the senior Trump officials had traveled to the event in Las Vegas, where Patel has a home, critics were quick to blast his previous use of public resources.

He reportedly used an FBI SWAT team to protect his country music star girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, and used a government jet for personal travel, including golf excursions and a trip with friends to a private resort in Scotland, the New York Times reported.

I object on the basis that he gets to sit in this cool car and I don't.
