YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

FBI Director Kash Patel pushed back against criticism from Democratic lawmakers over his handling of the manhunt for the gunman who killed conservative activist Charlie Kirk, telling senators he had no plans to step aside despite questions about his use of social media during the investigation.

“I’m not going anywhere,” Patel said during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday. “Bring it on.”

Patel faced questions about his premature social media post during the manhunt, in which he claimed the “subject for the horrific shooting” was in custody before issuing an update saying the person had been released. Lawmakers pressed him on the episode, which they said fueled confusion at a critical moment in the investigation.
