YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse asked acting Attorney General Todd Blanche during his confirmation hearing whether he would "put up" with FBI Director Kash Patel if appointed as attorney general. Patel has long refuted accusations that he has misused FBI funds or resources, noting that FBI directors are required by Congress to travel on a government plane and not commercial airlines.
