Sen. Marsha Blackburn told Fox News that Democrats, including Sen. Adam Schiff, “fear” Kash Patel as an FBI leader because he knows their involvement in the “Russian collusion” claims against Trump. She emphasized Patel’s commitment to transparency, which concerns his critics.
Guest host Charlie Hurt noted that former Democrats like RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard working with Trump frustrates the left. Blackburn agreed, suggesting that Democrats retaliate by obstructing nominations. She praised RFK Jr.’s expected role at HHS, highlighting his plans to locate missing migrant children and reform federal health agencies with Drs. Oz, Makary, and Bhattacharya.
Patel, a former federal prosecutor, previously served on the House Intelligence Committee, assisting Devin Nunes in GOP investigations into Trump-Russia allegations. He also helped draft the 2018 Nunes memo, which accused the FBI of surveillance misconduct during the 2016 election. Trump supports Bhattacharya’s NIH nomination for medical research transparency.
