World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported12m ago
FBI Director Kash Patel defended a policy change that removed bestiality as an automatic disqualifier for individuals applying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Speaking during questioning by Senator John Kennedy, Patel explained that the revision was implemented so the bureau would not automatically disqualify applicants who are victims of such acts.
The decision to loosen the rules regarding FBI applicants has drawn scrutiny, prompting direct questioning from lawmakers. Patel maintained that the adjustment ensures the agency can still consider candidates who experienced these circumstances rather than barring them outright from consideration.
