Patel can tell us anything that happened. He can tell us everything he said. But he has refused.

When I asked him what he told the grand jury, he said that grand jury proceedings are secret. Though that’s not the full story. Under the law, judges, court reporters, jurors, and prosecutors are bound to secrecy. Witnesses are not.
After a grand jury witness pleads the Fifth, a court can compel them to testify in exchange for limited immunity. Patel received immunity for testimony that was, as far as he was concerned, self-incriminating, and as far as the government was concerned, important enough to grant him immunity.
Patel is concealing self-incriminating information he gave to a grand jury in exchange for immunity. In 2022, he was compelled to testify as a jury witness about Trump’s mishandling of classified documents. He plead the Fifth, which every person has a right to do. So why does it matter if Patel did?
Patel told the Judiciary Committee that “All FBI employees will be protected against political retribution.” Shortly after the hearing concluded, senior FBI officials were abruptly forced out, and thousands of rank and file personnel who worked on the Jan. 6th Capitol riot cases are at risk.
I asked Patel whether he knew of any plans to fire officials at the FBI. Patel swore–under oath–that he did not.
Now, there’s credible evidence that he not only knew of the firings—but that he personally directed them.
Kash Patel is dangerous, dishonest, and unqualified – I am calling for President Trump to withdraw his nomination to be the Director of the FBI, and if his nomination is brought to the Senate floor, I will vote NO. Here’s why 🧵
If you are in a government agency, and believe the actions you are experiencing are illegal and unethical, we are here for you.

Civil servants do everything they can to assist fellow citizens and improve their country day in and day out, often doing so much more than asked of them. We can, and should, find ways to improve our government without denigrating the service of others.
Democrats should not agree to replenish any funding into the USDA Commodity Credit Corporation until USDA releases ALL previously awarded grants to farmers.
As we begin the celebration of Black History Month, I am thinking of those who stood up, spoke out, and took action when they saw injustices in the world – people like my friend, John Lewis. Carrying that spirit and their legacy with me this month and always.
Please join us in demanding that the State Department and White House fully and effectively resume the funding- Lives depend on it.
Democrats and Republicans asked the new Secretary of State to release the funding and he agreed, BUT much of the aid still isn't flowing.
Every hour this aid doesn't resume threatens lives.
This is unacceptable and tragic.
10 days in to the Trump Admin…and it’s chaos.
Congressionally-approved funding for domestic & foreign aid has been FROZEN by Donald Trump.
This includes money for fighting infectious diseases that could threaten Americans to global humanitarian aid like FOOD & WATER that saves countless lives.
I am shocked and heartbroken by the tragic plane crash at National Airport in D.C. last night. My heart is with the victims and their loved ones.

Impacts on New Jerseyans will be felt in the hours, days, and weeks ahead. My office is committed to doing everything we can to support people, but I strongly urge the Trump administration to consider the harm they are already doing.
State Universities – A significant portion of the budget for our state universities are funded with federal dollars. Outside of providing an education, these universities oversee invaluable research, employ thousands, and are pillars of our state.
Domestic Violence Shelters - Federal funding for hotlines, shelters, and legal counsel for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault is frozen. If this continues, there will be reduced resources for those looking to leave abusive situations.
Firefighters – Federal grants pay for trainings and equipment that ensure firefighters can do their job to protect lives and property across New Jersey.
