Senator Dick Durbin revealed that multiple whistleblowers have accused Kash Patel of orchestrating a purge of senior FBI officials before his confirmation as FBI Director. Durbin's letter to Inspector General Michael Horowitz details how Patel, working through top staff including Stephen Miller and Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, is pushing for resignations of key FBI officials. Durbin called for immediate investigation into Patel's actions, highlighting the serious implications of such conduct by an unconfirmed nominee.
I have received highly credible information from multiple sources that Kash Patel has been personally directing the ongoing purge of career civil servants at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
According to Durbin, Patel is conducting the purge through several top White House and DOJ staffers including Stephen Miller.
This alleged misconduct is beyond the pale and must be investigated immediately.
Durbin attributed this directive to Patel. Acting Deputy Attorney General Bove told meeting attendees that he received multiple concerns about this purge.
