Sen. Cory Booker Challenges Kash Patel's Record in High-Stakes FBI Hearing - Liberal Lens
Kash Patel invoked the Fifth. He was granted immunity in a federal case involving classified documents. And now, he’s been nominated to lead the FBI.
In this powerful exchange, Senator Cory Booker presses Patel on his past involvement in the Mar-a-Lago investigation, his refusal to disclose his testimony, and his reported plans to overhaul — or gut — the FBI from the inside. Despite being under oath, Patel repeatedly dodges simple yes-or-no questions about loyalty, transparency, and political interference.
This isn’t just another confirmation hearing. It’s a moment that raises urgent questions about the future of the Justice Department, the independence of the FBI, and the limits of accountability in today’s political climate.
🔍 Watch as Senator Booker demands answers the public deserves — and why Patel’s responses matter more than ever.
