Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI director, will have to defend an extensive history of controversial remarks and actions to a skeptical Senate committee.
Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the FBI, has for years battled US intelligence agencies over the handling of some of the government’s most sensitive national security secrets.
The Senate has a busy day coming on Thursday, with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sitting for a second hearing, this time in front of the Health Education, Labor and Pensions Committee at 10 a.m. ET; director of national intelligence pick Tulsi Gabbard facing the Intelligence Committee at 10 a.
Mr Patel is especially keen on pursuing leakers and their friends in the media. “When you have an underlying illegality committed by a government agent, anyone that participates in that illegality can and should be charged,” Mr Patel has said. He has also suggested “clawback mechanisms” for the money that news outlets make “by printing lies”.
An Associated Press review of more than 100 podcasts that Kash Patel hosted or on which he was interviewed reveals how Patel has habitually denigrated the investigations into Trump.
