- Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., began his round of questioning by accusing Patel of lying about firing FBI agents out of retribution for political investigations, leading to both men shouting over each other and a verbal reprimand from the committee chair as he rapped his gavel on the dais.
Booker said Trump has promised to make the country safer, but argued that Patel's actions at the FBI have led to the opposite outcome.
"You have pushed out senior FBI agents with decades of knowledge and experience," Booker said. "In fact, this is the first time in FBI history that neither the director nor the deputy director have any experience with the FBI. You’ve shifted the agency’s priorities primarily to pursuing Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement agenda."
