Senate Democrats delay Kash Patel committee vote

Senate Democrats requested an additional hearing for Kash Patel after his confirmation hearing lasted five and a half hours on January 30, as led by Ranking Member Dick Durbin .
Patel confirmed he was subpoenaed by the grand jury in Trump's documents case but could not discuss his testimony due to a court order, which prohibits sharing any information.
Durbin accused Patel of lying about his knowledge of Stew Peters and the J6 Prison Choir, claiming Patel's statements contradicted his media appearances.
Despite the delay tactics by Democrats, Grassley plans a final committee vote on Patel's nomination as early as the week of February 10.
