"I don't think you're fit to be in the bureau, but here's the thing, Mr. Patel. I think you are not going to be around long. I think this might be your last oversight hearing. Because as much as you supplicate yourself to the will of Donald Trump and not the Constitution of the United States of America, Donald Trump has shown us in his first term and in this term, he is not loyal to people like you. He will cut you loose."
"Yes, sir. That rant of false information does not bring this country together. If you want to work on bringing this country, it's my time, not yours. My God, my God! If you want to talk about. SEN. CORY BOOKER: dividing this country. FBI DIRECTOR KASH PATEL: It is my time. SEN. CORY BOOKER: I follow you on your social media posts that tear this country apart. FBI DIRECTOR KASH PATEL: It is my time to address your falsehoods."
Sen. Cory Booker confronted FBI Director Kash Patel during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, declaring Patel unfit for the bureau and predicting his tenure will end. Booker accused Patel of supplicating to Donald Trump rather than defending the Constitution, urged him to honor his oath, and said he prayed Patel would improve. Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley invited Patel to respond. Patel rejected Booker's characterization as a "rant of false information," insisted "it is my time," and sought to rebut alleged falsehoods while the exchange grew heated. The hearing followed bipartisan criticism over Patel's handling of the Charlie Kirk murder investigation.
