Kash Patel’s contentious leadership of the FBI
FBI Director Kash Patel had a tough week.
He’d already been slated to appear before both the House and Senate judiciary committees – hearings at which he was sure to be peppered with questions about his leadership of the FBI, his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein saga, and allegations that the FBI had fired people over their political preferences.
But his handling of the FBI investigation into the killing of Charlie Kirk has led even some in the conservative base to question his competence.
Today on “Post Reports,” Jeremy Roebuck takes us through how Patel handled himself in the week’s congressional hearings – which more than once erupted into shouting matches. And he shares his reporting on how Patel came to be President Donald Trump’s pick to head the FBI in the first place.
Today’s show was produced by Rennie Svirnovskiy, with help from Sabby Robinson. It was edited by Reena Flores and mixed by Sean Carter. Thank you to Ted Muldoon and James Martinez.
