WATCH: Emails show Patel did ‘VIP snorkel’ at Pearl Harbor memorial

FBI Director Kash Patel reportedly took what's being called a "VIP snorkel" session at the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor last summer, according to government emails obtained by the Associated Press.

The AP said the FBI had not previously disclosed his visit.

The ship sank during the 1941 attack by Japanese forces and currently entombs more than 900 sailors and Marines.

The battleship is considered one of the nation's most hallowed sites, and snorkeling and diving are largely off-limits.

An FBI official said in a social media post that tours are routine and that Patel had been invited by the commanding general for what's being described as a "historical tour to honor heroes who died on the USS Arizona."
