Politicizing the murder of Charlie King to go after free speech is not a legacy, I believe, Charlie King would have wanted, Nadler told FBI Director Kash Patel. His comment came a moment after he asked Patel if he was aware the Trump administration was using Kirk's death as an excuse to crackdown on liberty and freedom of speech. Patel said he could only speak for the FBI and was not aware of such efforts.

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.

I got to ask you about this Fox News report by Jacqui Heinrich, the White House correspondent, who says you and Kash are under fire, political fire. She reports the White House, Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, your deputy have no confidence in Kash Patel. Citing one source, Pam in particular cannot stand him. Blanche either, they said, referring to Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche. The headline is that knives are out for Kash Patel.

The complaint asserts that FBI Director Kash Patel indicated directly to one of the ousted agents, Brian Driscoll, that he knew the firings were likely illegal but was powerless to stop them because the White House and the Justice Department were determined to remove all agents who had helped in investigations surrounding Trump.

Brian Driscoll, the former acting director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), along with two other former senior FBI officials, sued the Trump administration and FBI Director Kash Patel on Wednesday, alleging they were dismissed for political reasons. The three officials said in the lawsuit, filed in a Washington DC federal court, that they were fired by FBI Director Kash Patel in a "campaign of retribution" to purge officials considered disloyal to President Donald Trump.

The FBI raided the Maryland home of John Bolton, a former national security advisor from President Donald Trump's first term, on Friday morning. Agents entered the house at 7 a.m. and searched for classified documents as part of an investigation ordered by Kash Patel, the FBI director. Minutes later, Patel wrote on X, "NO ONE is above the law... @FBI agents on mission."

The FBI is searching Bolton's home as part of an investigation into handling of classified documents, the source has said. A journalist affiliated with AFP news agency reported witnessing FBI agents entering Bolton's home in Bethesda, Maryland, located outside of Washington DC. The New York Times reported that the case was related to whether Bolton "illegally shared or possessed classified information." Bolton has not been detained or charged with any crime, the AP source said.

Late last year, after Mr. Trump tapped Kash Patel, a podcaster with scant law enforcement experience, to be F.B.I. director, his aides approached Ms. Pirro about becoming his deputy.

The ATF's role in regulating substances like alcohol and tobacco indirectly intersects with cannabis regulation, particularly as cannabis legalization expands across states.

Hours after federal corruption charges against him were dropped, NYC Mayor Eric Adams promoted a book by Kash Patel, resulting in a significant sales boost.
