FBI Director Kash Patel engaged in a heated exchange with Democratic lawmakers during a Senate oversight hearing. The focus of the hearing included recent adjustments to the agency's hiring policies.
Patel specifically defended the FBI's updated stance on applicants who have engaged in bestiality and prostitution. Reports indicate a Republican senator pressed Patel directly on the rationale behind the bestiality policy change.
Additionally, Patel suggested that FBI agents might be deployed to polling places. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
