Patel camp decries Durbin accusations as ‘politically motivated’ attempt to derail FBI confirmation
A Trump transition team official vehemently pushed back on the Democrats' allegations in a conversation with Fox News Digital, describing it as a politically motivated and meritless effort
By Breanne Deppisch Fox News
Published February 12, 2025 9:43am EST Updated February 12, 2025 10:06am EST

FIRST ON FOX: A team member for President Donald Trump's FBI director nominee, Kash Patel, pushed back Wednesday on allegations that Patel played a role in the firings of bureau personnel just hours after swearing not to do so during his confirmation hearing late last month – dismissing accusations from the panel's top Democrat as a politically motivated effort to derail his confirmation.

A senior transition team official for Patel refuted the allegations made by the ranking Senate Judiciary Committee Democrat, Dick Durbin, that Patel had orchestrated the firings after his confirmation hearing.

This person told Fox News that Patel had left Washington the night of his confirmation hearing to fly home to Las Vegas, where he has "been sitting there waiting for the process to play out."

The official also refuted the notion that Patel has had anything to do with the firings of bureau personnel, as alleged by Durbin in Senate floor remarks the previous day.

Patel has no authority whatsoever to fire anyone as right now he is a private citizen.

I listened to the press briefing and question was asked about McConnell voting no -- press secy response was that they are certainly disappointed with any Republican voting against the president's selections/agenda.

Gabbard does have the votes and has been confirmed.

IMHO the Turtle is barking up the wrong tree.

Maybe McConnel is having a McCain moment and thinks his one "nay" vote will stop things. :shrug:

It's painfully obvious...(painfully to Mitch) that he's going to be exposed as a grifter.  Thus, the reason for his "NO" votes on Gabbard and Kennedy.

The "wheelchair" act is to garner sympathy to avoid a future indictment.
