The three of the most controversial candidates of President Donald Trump stood on Thursday, with Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. January 6 Riot Capitol.
Kennedy was in a well -known territory after appearing on Wednesday before the Senate of the Finance Committee. When Pete HegeSeth has now confirmed the Secretary of Defense, the trio represents the last of the unconventional Trump’s nominated, whose task is to significantly review the departments to which they were called.
Everyone met significant skepticism, including many of the Republican side of the transition. All three appeared unscathed by fresh indignation – produced or in another way – although they could not overturn any legislators to the case, because many seemed to vote against their confirmation.
Here’s a look at how it took place.

The dissertation of the FBI director before the Judiciary Committee was the most tense. The office has met in a scandal after the scandal in recent years, including universal allegations of politicians.
One sec A significant part of the trial Perceiving the legislators, they agree to the need for impartial and independent FBI, the Democrats worked on painting Patel as a loyalist Trump who would invariably observe the president, perhaps illegal demands.
Several democrats, including sense. Amy Klobuchar, minn.; Dick Durbin, D-bill. And Adam Schiff, d-culif.; There was an exception to the work of Patel related to the recording of the prisoners on January 6 he worked to promote. The trio largely pressed him at his efforts to promote a single and collect funds for families of imprisoned people. One stock exchange became particularly balmy when Schiff accused Patela of reference to people who attacked law enforcement agencies and persuaded him to look at the police of Capitol, which guarded the trials.
“It’s an extremely lie and you know it!” Fumed pan. “I never, never, have never accepted violence against law enforcement agencies. I worked with these men and women whom you know that you are going and I did not make a single ten times. “
The Democrats also tried to persuade the Patel to describe his testimony to the special adviser Jacek Smith about the MAR-A-Lago Trump case, although the pan insisted that he was not allowed to discuss his testimony and that the panel would have to ask for release from court.
Gabbard
The former Hawaiian democrat spent most of the interrogation before the intelligence committee playing defense when the members of her former party approached the fears during previous foreign trips. A supporter of non -intervention reform and supervision, the nomination of Gabbard in order to act as the Director for National Intelligence collected some in the establishment of DC foreign policy.
Her trip to Syria in 2017 insisted that the now based president of Syria Bashar al-Assad was not the enemy of the United States. The journey was also examined in the lithe Connection reported Between the figure of Hezbollah and another person indicating that Gabbard met with an unidentified “big guy”.
Gabbard refused to meet with members of the group from Lebanon and called the accusation “absurd” during Exchange with the Susan Collins senatorR-maine. In addition, she used some of her own remarks to make the interview community with her perceived politicization and insist to eradicate her.
“The re -election of President Trump is a clear mandate from the American people to break this series of failure and weapons and the politicization of the intelligence community and began to restore trust in those who were accused of a critical task of securing our nation,” she said.
The frustrating of many senators was her mighty reluctance to condemn Edward Snowden as a “traitor” for the United States. Snowden is famed for secret materials revealing government supervisory programs and since then he escaped to Russia, becoming a significant citizen of this country. Although Gabbard agreed that Snowden broke the law, refused to name him a traitor and emphasized the unconstitutional nature of what he distinguished, ABC News has been reported.
Kennedy
The former independent presidential candidate returned to the second round of interrogations confirming to direct the Health and Social Welfare Department. On Wednesday, he appeared before the Senate’s financial committee, and then appeared on Thursday from the Senate, Education, Work and Retirement Committee.
Kennedy encountered questions related to his earlier statements regarding the effectiveness of the vaccine, especially the opposite vaccine. Senator Bill CassidyR-la., He proposed one of the most controversial questions during the trial. Cassidy took Kennedy’s comments connecting measles vaccine with autism and encouraged him to exploit his influence to support trust in vaccines.
The would -be secretary HHS pointed out that he would gladly improve his statements and apologize if science proves that he is wrong. “I want the best study,” he said. “I can guarantee you the word of honor if you show me a science that I am wrong, I will say that I was wrong. I have no problem. There is nothing that would make me happier. “
Kennedy’s is one of the few positions that require a potential testimony official before two committees. Both panels will have to recommend it to the office before its confirmation goes to floor voting.
