Sen. Marsha Blackburn told Fox News that Democrats like Rep. Adam Schiff “fear” Kash Patel potentially leading the FBI because he knows their involvement in the “Russia collusion” narrative during Trump’s presidency.
She said Patel could expose hidden truths and bring transparency to Washington. Blackburn also backed RFK Jr. for HHS, saying he’ll help locate 300,000 missing migrant children and reform agencies like the FDA and NIH with doctors Mehmet Oz, Marty Makary, and Jay Bhattacharya. Trump called Bhattacharya, a COVID policy critic, vital to advancing U.S. medical research. Patel, a key player in GOP investigations, helped draft the 2018 Nunes memo alleging FBI surveillance misconduct.
