FBI Director Kash Patel engagement report
@FBIDirectorKash - 2.0M followers on X
Measured over 75 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 25, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 7.1K interactions against 2.0M followers, an engagement rate of 0.349%. Measured over 75 original posts, its engagement rate beats 88% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 131K times each, and 5.40% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 6.47% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 6.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 75 posts sampled, 83% carry an image or video, 25% are part of a thread and 12% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 66K interactions, about 9.4x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #fbi, #fbijobs, #lawandorder.

Compared with accounts its own size
FBI Director Kash Patel's engagement rate beats 88% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 91% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 83% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 12% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 83% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 12% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 557 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

I am deeply honored by the trust and confidence President Trump has placed in me to lead the Department of Justice as our great nation’s 88th Attorney General. I am grateful to the Senate for staying late to complete this process. To the dedicated public servants of the Department of Justice, thank you for your work each day to uphold the law and keep our country safe. God bless America.

Vice President @JDVance had a simple idea: Why don’t we have a Most Wanted Fraudsters list? So we built one. In just 3 months: 5 fraudsters captured, 4,000+ days on the run, nearly $2 BILLION in alleged fraud—across 3 continents. The American people remain one of the FBI’s greatest partners. You give us the information. We find them. We bring them to justice. -DKP🇺🇸

After an FBI investigation with our DOJ partners, Dr. Fauci’s associate, David Morens, just pleaded guilty to conspiracy in a scheme to avoid FOIA requests and the Federal Records Act connected to COVID-19 research grants. The FBI uncovered that Morens, Co-Conspirator 1, Co-Conspirator 2, and others conspired during the COVID-19 pandemic to defraud the United States after the National Institutes of Health terminated Co-Conspirator 1’s grant. NIH terminated the grant, “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence,” based on allegations that COVID-19 emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in Wuhan, China. Mr. Morens and his co-conspirators then agreed in writing to intentionally hide their communications from public view by corresponding through Morens’s personal Gmail account rather than his official NIH email account. This FBI investigation remains ongoing. No one is above the law. -DKP🇺🇸

🚨 34 MISSING CHILDREN LOCATED. A three-day operation in New York brought together 100+ professionals from nearly 40 agencies — and 34 missing children and teens, ages 7 to 18, were found. That’s what happens when law enforcement shares intelligence, follows every lead, and refuses to quit. These aren’t case numbers. They’re kids. They’re families. Outstanding work by every professional who helped bring them to safety. Find the missing. Protect the vulnerable. Never stop. -DKP🇺🇸

They said the Director was “missing in action.” The record says otherwise. 4 personal days off this year. Less personal travel. More days working. And the mission results that were laid out today: → Murder down roughly 20% → 54,000 violent felons arrested → 11,000 child victims located → 6 Most Wanted Fraudsters captured—tied to $2 BILLION in alleged fraud → Enough fentanyl seized to save countless American lives We have the calendars. We have the receipts. And most importantly—we have the results. The men and women of this FBI are working every day to crush violent crime and defend the homeland. -DKP🇺🇸

OPERATION BLACKOUT. These aren’t random scammers sitting behind laptops. They built fortified compounds, trafficked human beings, forced slave labor, and constructed an international fraud machine targeting Americans. So we’re dismantling the machine. $15+ BILLION in assets and crypto seized. 500+ fake investment sites shut down. Hundreds arrested. Thousands of trafficked workers freed. 10,000+ Americans warned before they could be robbed. More than $500 MILLION saved. And 20+ countries are now coordinating in this fight. These criminals built an industry that could target Americans from anywhere. -DKP 🇺🇸

The Chinese government allegedly sent an operative to surveil the family of Taiwan’s President ON AMERICAN SOIL — photos, video, license plates — then she tried to hop a flight back to Shanghai. Wrong move. FBI Los Angeles arrested Wanying Zhang at LAX on charges of acting as an unregistered agent of the PRC. Foreign adversaries take note: America is NOT your playground. Under President Trump’s leadership, this FBI is hunting national security threats wherever they hide — and putting them in cuffs. -DKP🇺🇸

🚨 This morning, the FBI arrested Massachusetts State Rep. Francisco Paulino - charged in an alleged scheme involving COVID-19 relief fraud and money laundering. Paulino allegedly stole approximately $700,000 in pandemic relief funded by taxpayers, using it for personal expenses like real estate, loan payments, and transfers to his campaign account. Paulino also allegedly loaned taxpayer funds out at a significantly higher interest rate than he was paying. He is charged with eight counts of wire fraud and three counts of unlawful monetary transactions/money laundering. This comes after the FBI and partners arrested Lawrence, Mass mayor Brian DePena earlier this month for similar fraud allegations. This is an ongoing investigation. No one is above the law. -DKP🇺🇸

When we took over, the FBI Laboratory faced a DNA-processing backlog of more than 1.81 MILLION samples. Today: ZERO. 🔺 1.81M+ samples processed 🔺 Backlog had been growing by roughly 75,000 samples per month 🔺 Hundreds of thousands of samples were arriving each year 🔺 Profiles can help solve homicides, sexual assaults, mass shootings, and other violent crimes 🔺 Equipment upgraded 🔺 Resources redirected 🔺 Technology improved 🔺 Bureaucratic barriers removed DNA profiles belong in CODIS helping law enforcement solve crimes—not stalled in a government backlog. Under President Trump’s leadership, we are rebuilding the FBI around one standard: MISSION FIRST. -DKP🇺🇸
