FBI chief Kash Patel defends hiring policy changes on prostitution, bestiality at fiery hearing
World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported17m ago
FBI Director Kash Patel defended recent hiring policy changes during a fiery congressional hearing in Washington on Tuesday. The updated policy allows certain applicants who have engaged in prostitution or bestiality to be considered for employment, a move Patel insisted was designed to enable victims of those acts to apply.
The hearing occurred two months prior to the November midterm elections. The timing coincides with a period during which the FBI has initiated investigations related to the 2020 electoral contest, which includes the seizure of voter data in Fulton County, Georgia.
