Senator Booker confronts Kash Patel over FBI issues at hearing

Cory Booker confronted FBI Director Kash Patel during a Senate Judiciary Hearing on September 16. Booker criticized Patel for what he called the "generational destruction" of the FBI.

Booker implied that Patel's time in his position was limited, leading to a heated argument between the two.

The confrontation stemmed from concerns over Patel's actions as FBI director, including making and retracting statements about the Charlie Kirk shooter's identity. Patel also fired several law enforcement officials who had been involved in investigating Donald Trump.
