4:47Now PlayingJamie Raskin is accusing FBI Director Kash Patel of unlawfully funneling more than $1 million in bonus payments to loyalists, advisory-team insiders, and members of his own security detail, with some payments allegedly pushing past federal salary caps until the account ran dry. The allegations paint Patel’s FBI as a patronage machine where political obedience gets rewarded while experienced career officials are forced out. If Democrats take back the House, the bonus records Raskin is demanding could become one more paper trail through Trump’s weaponized law enforcement operation. Ring of Fire's Josh G. explains.
