Part 5/7:
In addition to discussing Gabbard, Bolton also weighed in on another contentious nomination: Cash Patel for a leadership role within the FBI. He raised alarms about Patel's loyalty to Donald Trump, suggesting that such allegiance could interfere with a commitment to uphold the U.S. Constitution. Bolton highlighted that during Trump’s presidency, both Attorney General William Barr and CIA Director Gina Haspel expressed intentions to resign rather than work under Patel, citing their grave concerns about his suitability for such a sensitive role.
