Kash Patel separates himself from Trump’s Jan. 6 pardons during FBI director confirmation hearing


Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI director, distanced himself from Trump’s pardon of Jan. 6 rioters, stating that violent rioters who assaulted law enforcement did not deserve leniency. This caused a rift within the Republican party and Trump’s own administration, with some, including Sen. Thom Tillis, disagreeing with the pardons. Patel declined to state that Trump lost the 2020 election, drawing criticism. The FBI has been undergoing changes under the Trump administration, including firings of employees involved in investigations into Trump and the hiring of new personnel. The Justice Department and FBI have faced scrutiny for their handling of the Capitol riot cases, with concerns that those involved in violence may not be held accountable. A U.S. District Judge stated that Trump’s assertions about the handling of Jan. 6 cases were “factually incorrect” and that the cases against rioters were well-supported. Overall, Patel’s confirmation hearing highlighted tensions surrounding the Capitol riot, the FBI’s role in election law, and concerns about accountability for those involved in violence.
