WATCH: Sen. Grassley makes opening statement in hearing on FBI Director Patel’s leadership

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, made his opening statement Tuesday in a hearing with FBI Director Kash Patel about his leadership over the agency. Patel has been under fire in recent days for social media posts he made about the Charlie Kirk shooting investigation and for dining out at an upscale Manhattan restaurant hours after the conservative activist was killed. Last week, three former high-ranking FBI officials sued Patel, alleging they were fired in August as part of a “campaign of retribution” and that the director knew it was “likely illegal” to remove workers based on the cases they investigated.
