Sen. Hawley Questions Kash Patel on Biden-Era Targeting of Christians by FBI, “Will You Commit To Me…”

Kash Patel’s first day of confirmation hearings have been as cataclysmic as anyone guessed, and as promising as many of us hoped leading up to today’s hearing.

During questioning, Senator Josh Hawley took up a subject with President Trump’s pick to lead — and fix — the FBI which he has often focused on during Congressional hearings.

Sen. Hawley reminded Patel in particular of the notorious memo which directed the FBI to in fact target Christians and Christian churches based on their religious grouping.

Patel, possibly even more familiar with the circumstances of that memo than Sen. Hawley, was perfectly clear that no such mandate exists under which the FBI could or should engage in such actions.

What is more, he committed to ending the Biden-era targeting of Christians by the FBI, and vowed the full resources of the FBI to investigate those responsible for doing so and holding them accountable.
