Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) has announced her opposition to Kash Patel's nomination to lead the FBI, aligning herself with fellow Republican Mitch McConnell. Collins raises concerns regarding recent actions within the Department of Justice and the implications for FBI employees, particularly in light of a questionnaire sent to hundreds of employees about their investigatory involvement. She emphasizes that accountability measures must not deter dedicated agents who serve the public interest, underscoring the stability and independence traditionally associated with the FBI Director’s role.
In addition, a questionnaire has been sent to thousands of FBI employees regarding their involvement in certain investigations.
Collins wrote in her statement, adding: This is a developing story and will be updated.
