The head of the Senate Judiciary Committee criticized Democrats on the panel for trying to schedule a second confirmation hearing for President Trump's FBI director nominee, Kash Patel. The committee chair described the move as a 'delay tactic' aimed at stalling Patel's appointment to lead the law enforcement agency.
Senator Grassley emphasized that Patel had already testified for over five hours before the committee and provided 'thousands of pages' of records and detailed responses to lawmakers' questions. Grassley dismissed the Democrats' push for a second hearing as 'baseless' and unnecessary.
