Lawmakers on the Senate Judiciary Committee grilled Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s choice to lead the FBI, with a lot of questions Thursday morning.
The hearing heated up when Patel got into a tense back-and-forth with Minnesota Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar when she tried to smear him as being unqualified.
“Simply this: if the best attacks on me are going to be false accusations and grotesque mischaracterizations, the only thing this body is doing is defeating the credibility of the men and women at the FBI. I STOOD with them, here in this country, in every theater of war we have – I was on the ground in service,” Patel said.
