President Donald Trump's nominee for Attorney General, Todd Blanche, delivered a sharp rebuke during his Senate confirmation hearing after being pressed about FBI Director Kash Patel. Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse questioned Blanche over Patel, asking how long he intended to "put up with that Kash Patel character" and whether he could vouch for the FBI director amid ongoing scrutiny from congressional Democrats. Blanche fired back, calling the line of questioning "an extraordinarily obnoxious question," before expressing full confidence in Patel's leadership and the work being done at the FBI. The exchange came during a hearing that also featured questions about the Justice Department's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and criticism over support for a fund tied to January 6 defendants. Watch the heated exchange and the key moments from Todd Blanche's confirmation hearing. #ToddBlanche #KashPatel #FBI #DonaldTrump #AttorneyGeneral #Senate #Congress #USPolitics #BreakingNe
