The top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee has requested information from several government agencies and departments regarding allegations that Kash Patel violated protocols during an attempted hostage rescue mission in 2020.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) sent a letter to acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and acting Secretary of the Treasury David Lebryk on Monday asking for information regarding the rescue of Sandra Loli and Mikael Gidada, who were held captive by Iranian-backed militants in Yemen in October 2020.
