Sir PatelMr Booker said he believes Mr Trump will fire the director soon.
“I think this might be your last oversight hearing,” he said. “He’s just unfaithful to someone like you. I don’t think you’re eager to work.”

gentlemen. Patel In a search last week, he defended his handling of public information in a bid to handle the assassin of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. At one point on the night of killing, sir. Patel The “topic” of the investigation was detained, but was taken back a few hours later.

Mr. Patel defended the standard.
“If you want to chase a bad guy and put them in handcuffs, it’s better to be able to pull up,” he said.
