Trump Nominee Kash Patel Criticized by Schiff for FBI Director Role
Dec 15, 2024, 05:08 PM
Senator-elect Adam Schiff (D-CA), now on the Senate Judiciary Committee, has criticized President Trump's nominee for FBI Director, Kash Patel, by calling him a 'conspiracy theorist' during an appearance on ABC’s 'This Week'. Schiff's comments were in response to Patel's previous statements about wanting to shut down the FBI headquarters and turn it into a 'museum of the Deep State', a move Patel believes would free up resources to focus on actual law enforcement. Patel, who was officially nominated by Trump for his experience in counter-terrorism and his stance against what he perceives as the 'Deep State' within the FBI, has also been involved in efforts to rescue American hostages and detainees. Critics argue that the FBI has been involved in several controversies, including the amplification of the 2020 election lie about Hunter Biden’s laptop, targeting Tara Reade, and embedding informants during the January 6 election protests.
