FBI Director Kash Patel and Senator Cory Booker clashed during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday. The hearing focused on the FBI’s handling of the Charlie Kirk assassination case. Booker accused Patel of leading a “generational destruction” of the FBI and said he was unfit to lead. Patel hit back, calling Booker an “embarrassment.” The shouting match forced the committee chairman to pound his gavel to restore order. Booker warned Patel that Trump would “cut you loose.” Earlier, Senator Peter Welch also criticised Patel, saying he was “promoting himself” instead of working with local police in the Kirk investigation.
