Senator Whitehouse Cornered Patel Over His Enemies List. Patel Claimed It Doesn't Exist.

In his first Senate oversight hearing as FBI Director, Kash Patel sat across from Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and was confronted with a number: 20. Twenty of the sixty people named in Patel's own book — Government Gangsters — had already experienced adverse actions in just seven months of his tenure. Firings. Demotions. Federal investigations. Whitehouse did the math live in the chamber and asked Patel to explain it. Patel's answer? "I do not have an enemies list." In this video, we break down exactly what happened during that four-and-a-half-hour hearing — from Whitehouse's confrontation to Patel's explosive clash with Senator Schiff, to Senator Booker's warning that Patel's days at the FBI are numbered. The book is real. The list is real. The math is real. And none of it went away after Patel left that chamber. Subscribe and hit the bell — this story is still developing.
