Kash Patel, directorul FBI, luat la rost în Senatul SUA pentru că ar fi „relaxat” criteriile de angajare în FBI

FBI Director Kash Patel faced a tense Senate Judiciary Committee hearing regarding recent hiring policy changes that affect individuals with past involvement in prostitution or animal abuse. Patel argued that the changes aim to protect victims of trafficking and abuse, while still prohibiting hiring individuals involved in prostitution within the last decade. The hearing featured heated exchanges, with both Democrats and Republicans questioning Patel's decisions and past actions. Patel defended his leadership, claiming significant crime reduction, and dismissed allegations of politically motivated firings, stating many agents retired voluntarily. He also indicated the possibility of deploying FBI agents to polling stations amid election interference concerns, despite a lack of evidence for widespread electoral fraud.
