WASHINGTON (January 30, 2025) - In his hearing before the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, FBI Director-designate Kash Patel put on a clinic in dispelling the vicious smears and lies perpetuated against him in recent months — and demonstrated exactly why President Trump nominated him to reform the FBI and make our communities safer.
- "I have been endorsed by over 300,000 law enforcement officers to become the next director of the FBI — so let's ask them," Patel fired back after lies from Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) about his record supporting law enforcement.
Director of National Intelligence-designate Tulsi Gabbard's appearance before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence was equally as impressive. After enduring months of outrageous lies about her patriotism, credentials, and allegiance, Gabbard made clear where she stands: on the side of Americans demanding an end to the politicization of the intelligence community.
- "[My opponents are] accusing me of being Trump's puppet, Putin's puppet, Assad's puppet, a guru's puppet, Modi's puppet ... The fact is what truly unsettles my political opponents is I refuse to be their puppet," Gabbard said in her powerful opening statement.
In his second hearing in as many days, Secretary of Health and Human Services-designate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., doubled down on his commitment to ending the chronic disease epidemic, restoring transparency to public health, and improving health care for Americans as he implements President Trump's agenda.
- "All vaccines are dropping because people don't believe the government anymore — [and] I am going to RESTORE trust," Kennedy said.
President Trump has nominated the most qualified cabinet in modern history, and it's time for the Senate to finish the job of confirming them.
