Kristen Welker Asks Trump DOJ Head If President Still Has Confidence' In Kash Patel Amid Drinking Scandal
"That article was full of unnamed sources and should be completely discounted. I was with Director Patel last night. I was with him at the crime scene. I was with him in the Oval Office. I was with him afterwards. I was on the phone with him late into the evening."
"There are all these fake articles with unnamed sources claiming things, and then there's the reality of what's happening and what we all saw last night. And so I'm not going to speak for President Trump, but I certainly have confidence in Director Patel."
"The men and women working with him, that worked through the night, will work through the day and through the night tonight, to investigate this crime. And it's something that I'm very proud of, and everybody in this country should be proud of it as well."
The investigation into the security breach at the White House Correspondence Dinner is being led by FBI Director Kash Patel. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche expressed confidence in Patel's leadership despite reports from The Atlantic regarding his behavior. Blanche dismissed the article's claims as unfounded and emphasized the reality of Patel's involvement in the investigation. He highlighted the commitment of Patel and his team to address the incident and ensure public safety moving forward, while also acknowledging the need for the Department of Justice to take proactive measures against potential violence.
