FBI Director Kash Patel will testify on the 2026 White House budget before the Senate Appropriations Committee’s Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies at around 9 a.m.
TRUMP LOOKS TO LAWSUITS AND JUSTICE DEPARTMENT TO MUZZLE ‘FAKE NEWS’
The hearing is titled “A Review of the President’s Fiscal Year 2026 Budget Request for the Federal Bureau of Investigation.” The White House’s budget allocates $10.1 billion to the FBI for salaries and expenses.
This is the second time this week that Patel has testified on the White House budget. On Wednesday, he told House lawmakers that the bureau needed an operating budget roughly a billion dollars higher than what President Donald Trump has proposed.
