Kash Patel Faces Scrutiny in Senate Hearing for FBI Director Role

Read Time:58 Second

Kash Patel, Donald Trump’s pick for FBI director, downplayed past controversial remarks and accusations of political retribution during a tense Senate confirmation hearing Thursday. Patel, a staunch Trump ally, faced tough questioning from Democrats over his previous promotion of conspiracy theories and calls for action against officials he deems part of the “deep state.”

Patel denied maintaining an “enemies list” despite a 2023 book in which he named 60 officials. He insisted he would not politicize the FBI or engage in retribution, though some senior FBI leaders have already been reassigned.

Republicans backed Patel, urging him to address what they see as anti-Trump bias in the Justice Department. Sen. Chuck Grassley said Patel should “teach a lesson” to those involved in past Trump investigations.

Breaking with Trump, Patel opposed clemency for January 6 rioters convicted of attacking law enforcement. However, Democrats highlighted his past fundraising for some defendants. Patel also distanced himself from QAnon, calling it “baseless,” despite prior remarks that signaled support for elements of the movement.
