Blanche Defends FBI Nominee Patel During Senate Confirmation Hearing
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche clashed with Senate Democrats during his confirmation hearing regarding FBI Director nominee Kash Patel. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse questioned Blanche about allegations of Patel's past conduct, including claims of excessive drinking. Blanche dodged allegations of boozing and dismissed the inquiry as an extraordinarily obnoxious question. The hearing highlighted tensions over the incoming administration's leadership. While Blanche tangled with Democrats over Patel, other nominees faced similar scrutiny. Tulsi Gabbard, the pick for intelligence chief, hesitated to state who won the 2020 election. Blanche characterized the focus on Patel's personal behavior as an obnoxious attack by committee members.
