WATCH: Sen. Whitehouse questions FBI Director Patel in hearing on his leadership - PBS NewsHour [View all]
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., questioned FBI Director Kash Patel in a hearing Tuesday focused on his leadership over the nation’s top law enforcement agency.
Patel has been under fire in recent days for social media posts he made about the Charlie Kirk shooting investigation and for dining out at an upscale Manhattan restaurant hours after the conservative activist was killed.
Last week, three former high-ranking FBI officials sued Patel, alleging they were fired in August as part of a “campaign of retribution” and that the director knew it was “likely illegal” to remove workers based on the cases they investigated. - Aired on 09/16/2025.
