Newly appointed FBI Director Kash Patel began his term by immediately addressing journalists, condemning alleged defamatory stories about himself and advocating for respect towards FBI employees. Confirmed by a GOP-led Senate after intense hearings, Patel is a controversial figure due to his past statements on the FBI's structure and operations. During his swearing-in, Patel urged the media to critique him but to refrain from attacking the FBI staff, asserting their professionalism deserves protection. He also declared that accountability and a unified system of justice would be his principles moving forward.
Look, I know the media is in here, and if you have a target that targets right here, it's not the men and women at the FBI. You've written everything you possibly can about me. That's fake, malicious, slanderous, and defamatory. Keep it coming. Bring it on. But leave the men and women the FBI out of it. They deserve better.
And for those of you who think that there's going to be a two-tier system of justice not with Attorney General Bondi. There's a singular system of justice for all Americans, and there will be accountability.
