NPR - FBI Director Kash Patel will face questioning today from the House Judiciary Committee. This comes a day after a combative hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, during which Patel defended his leadership of the nation’s premier law enforcement agency. Patel is facing criticism for the usage of his social media account to announce inaccurate information about Kirk’s murder, his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case and for the firings of veteran agents.
The Senate hearing lasted more than four hours and had “two starkly different messages,” according to NPR’s Elena Moore. Democrats spoke on reasons why they feel Patel isn’t fit for the job, pointing to his missteps. Republicans mostly stayed in Patel’s corner and focused on the issue of political violence. GOP lawmakers alleged that the far left is inciting a broader culture of political violence. However, Democrats opposed the narrative as they have also been targets in recent acts.
