Patel shrugged off any criticism of his handling of the bureau and clashed with Democratic lawmakers.

FBI Director Kash Patel delivered defiant testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, amid increasing scrutiny of his handling of the investigation into conservative youth leader Charlie Kirk’s assassination in Utah.

He also revealed new details about the Kirk assassination, the FBI’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case and the Trump administration’s plans to clamp down on crime in US cities.

He will go before the House Judiciary Commitee on Wednesday.
