Скачать или смотреть Kash Patel Grilled Over FBI Budget Confusion and Fifth Amendment Due Process Clash.

During a tense Senate hearing, FBI Director Kash Patel faced sharp questioning over two explosive issues, a confusing FBI budget request and serious concerns about Fifth Amendment due process.

Senator Merkley pressed Patel on why the FBI appeared to be asking Congress for an additional one billion dollars to expand drug interdiction, fentanyl enforcement, and counterterrorism efforts, while simultaneously supporting a budget that cuts half a billion dollars. Patel’s response exposed the political and practical tension between supporting an administration’s budget and acknowledging what more funding could unlock.

The hearing then took a dramatic constitutional turn. Merkley raised alarms over reports that hundreds of immigrants were detained and sent to El Salvador without due process, reminding the room that the Fifth Amendment protects all persons in the United States, not just citizens. When asked whether the FBI would investigate potential violations of constitutional rights, Patel stopped short of committing to any action.

This moment revealed a deeper debate about the limits of federal law enforcement power, who is responsible for defending constitutional rights, and how quickly enforcement can move compared to accountability.
