FBI director nominee Kash Patel testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, addressing his stance on the controversial QAnon conspiracy theory. Patel firmly stated that he considers QAnon to be a baseless conspiracy theory that must be confronted with the truth.
QAnon, a conspiracy theory that gained traction during President Donald Trump's first term, alleges that a secret cabal of top Democrats is involved in an international pedophilia ring. Adherents of QAnon believe that Trump was chosen to dismantle this so-called 'deep state' network.
