FBI Director Kash Patel and Rep. Madeleine Dean exchanged explosive remarks during a heated House hearing. Dean accused Patel of being unfit for office, lying under oath, and aiding Trump’s “revenge tour.” Patel fired back, denying perjury and calling her accusations political theater. The clash centered on Patel’s alleged ties to extremist figures and his controversial past actions. Holding up his book Government Gangsters, Dean questioned his integrity—while Patel accused her of dishonest attacks. The fiery exchange highlights deepening tensions over politicization of federal agencies.

00:00You've shown yourself unfit to lead this important agency.
00:04We should worry more about your lack of candor.
00:06You're accusing me of committing projury,
00:08lying for political banter,
00:10so you can have a 20-second donation hit.
00:13Democracy does not lock up judges.
00:16I am gravely concerned about the utter lack of independence of the FBI
00:21and its weaponization under your leadership.
00:24I am concerned that the president is using this book,
00:27your book, as a blueprint, as he has said.
00:31It's a blueprint for revenge.
00:33And I am concerned that your eagerness,
00:36a childlike giddiness to carry out the president's revenge tour,
00:40you've shown yourself to be unserious in your statements
00:44before you were sworn in and some after.
00:47You've shown yourself unfit to lead this important agency.
00:51I was an impeachment manager for President Trump's second impeachment.
00:57It was a sad, solemn duty.
01:00And so I wanted to ask you about that.
01:02Mr. Patel, as you and the president continue to weaponize
01:07and investigate his perceived enemies,
01:10as you follow this blueprint,
01:12when can I, a former impeachment manager,
01:15expect the FBI at my door?
01:17Ma'am, you want to know who was targeted by a weaponized FBI?
01:21Me.
01:22You want to know how and why?
01:24You want to know what I'm doing to fix it?
01:25Well, you may need to write a book about that.
01:26Let me move along.
01:27Well, you should read the book,
01:28because there's no enemies list on that book.
01:29There are people that violated their constitutional obligations
01:32and their duties to the American people,
01:34and they were rightly called out.
01:36And you should give that book to every one of your constituents
01:39so they can read about it.
01:40I won't be doing that.
01:41That's their loss.
01:42During your Senate confirmation hearings,
01:45you repeatedly denied having any involvement as a private citizen
01:49in the firing of FBI officials who engaged in the prosecution
01:52against January 6th insurrectionists,
01:54the violent rioters who beat and killed Capitol police officers
01:59and whom you referred to as political prisoners.
02:02Since then, multiple whistleblowers have come forward,
02:05and we know that you likely committed perjury.
02:08At the same hearing, you claimed you were not familiar
02:11with Stu Peters, an anti-Semitic Holocaust denier,
02:16despite the fact that you appeared on Mr. Peters' podcast
02:19eight separate times.
02:21Eight times.
02:22And you claimed not to recall.
02:24Mr. Patel, my second question is,
02:26should we worry more about your memory or your veracity?
02:29We should worry more about your lack of candor.
02:31You're accusing me of committing perjury.
02:33Tell the American people how I broke the law and committed a felony.
02:37Have the audacity to actually put the facts forward
02:40instead of lying for political banter,
02:43so you can have a 20-second donation hit.
02:45The answer is both.
