During the confirmation hearing for U.S. Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi, tensions arose as she clashed with senior Democratic senators over President-elect Donald Trump's pick to lead the FBI, Kash Patel.
Senator Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., questioned Patel's past comments, including suggestions of closing down FBI headquarters and maintaining an 'enemies list.' Blumenthal pressed Bondi on whether these remarks were appropriate for an FBI director.
