Watch: Kennedy grills Patel in tense exchange on bestiality and FBI hiring rules

FBI Director Kash Patel faced intense questioning from Senators Dick Durbin and John Kennedy during a Senate committee hearing regarding lowered hiring standards. According to an internal memo reported by CBS News, the FBI no longer automatically disqualifies applicants who have engaged in bestiality, paid for sex, or stolen from employers. Patel defended these changes, claiming the agency was losing too many qualified candidates due to outdated requirements, leading to a tense exchange over the agency's current recruitment rules.
