Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., questioned Kash Patel on Thursday in his confirmation hearing for FBI director. In his second round of questioning, Schiff pushed Patel to share what he testified to a grand jury about President Donald Trump's handling of classified documents at his private residence, Mar-a-Lago. "Mr. Patel may be the first nominee for FBI director in history who felt it necessary to plead the Fifth," Schiff said.Schiff also criticized Patel's nomination." How can any of us think that, that his background, his qualifications, hold a candle to the people who went before him? How did we get here where we are defending a nominee like this?" Schiff said. Patel appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee. A loyal Trump supporter, Patel is a former public defender turned Justice Department prosecutor. He served in President Donald Trump’s first term as chief of staff to acting defense secretary Christopher Miller. In interviews, he has said he wants to reduce the size of the national intelligence community, and shut down the FBI’s headquarters in Washington. He’s also repeated the false narrative that Trump won the 2020 election. #kashpatel #confirmationhearing #trump #donaldtrump #trumpnomination #nationalintelligence #pbsnewshour #newshour #pbsnews #trumpadministration #senatejudiciarycommittee #fbi #fbidirector #schiff #adamschiff

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt pushed back against claims of a "constitutional crisis" in the Trump administration Wednesday, saying the real crisis is with judges blocking the president's "basic executive authority." "Many outlets in this room have been fearmongering the American people into believing there is a constitutional crisis taking place here at the White House ... but in fact the real constitutional crisis is taking place within our judicial branch," she said at a White House press briefing. President Donald Trump has taken steps to overhaul the federal government, but his efforts have been met with more than 50 lawsuits and with judges, so far, temporarily blocking some of his proposals. Top Trump administration officials, including billionaire Elon Musk and Vice President JD Vance, have questioned and criticized the judiciary’s authority to serve as a check on executive power. "Seventy seven million Americans voted to elect this president, and each injunction is an abuse of the rule of law and an attempt to thwart the will of the people," Leavitt said. America's democracy was built on a system of checks and balances with a fundamental principle of separation of powers. The courts and Congress have served a long-standing check on the presidency. Leavitt said the administration would comply with court rulings, but added that they would continue to work to overturn those injunctions. #pbsnewshour #pbsnews #newshour #news #trump #donaldtrump #trumpadministration #courts #constituiton #whitehouse #democracy #judicialsystem

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency has been at the forefront of upheaval and mass firings at federal agencies, even as lawsuits challenge their actions along with the executive orders of President Donald Trump. “I can't tell you how many conversations I have over the last three weeks of people who are traumatized, who describe a reign of terror in their agencies, but not only that, a reign of incompetence,” New York Times columnist David Brooks told PBS News Hour’s Amna Nawaz on Friday. "Nobody knows what information they have access to." So far, thousands of federal employees have been fired from numerous agencies, including the National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Energy Department, U.S. Forest Service and Veterans Affairs.“ It's a form of psychological intimidation that is sweeping through agency after agency and making a government that is semi-functional,” Brooks said. #pbsnewshour #pbsnews #newshour #trumpadministration #trump #donaldtrump #doge #elonmusk #government #federalgovernment

Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., was one of several Democratic senators who pressed FBI director nominee Kash Patel during his Thursday confirmation hearing on whether his loyalty was with law enforcement or people who attacked them at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Following other questions about Patel’s involvement with the “J6 choir,” which included offenders who assaulted officers that day, Schiff asked for more specific details on the nominee’s role with this group. Patel told senators he was not familiar with individual members of the choir. In a 2023 Truth Social post, he described the choir as "individuals who have been incarcerated as a result of their involvement" in the attack. The two had a contentious exchange. At one point, Schiff told Patel to turn around and face the Capitol Police officers in attendance for his hearing. “Look at them!” Schiff said. “I want you to look at them if you can, if you have the courage to look them in the eye, Mr. Patel, and tell them you're proud of what you did. Tell them you're proud that you raised money off of people that assaulted their colleagues, that pepper sprayed them, that beat them with poles.” Patel didn’t turn around and said, “I've never, never ever accepted violence against law enforcement.” In a different part of the hearing, Patel said he disagreed with President Donald Trump's pardon of Jan. 6 offenders who committed violent acts against police. A loyal Trump supporter, Patel is a former public defender turned Justice Department prosecutor. He served in Trump’s first term as chief of staff to acting defense secretary Christopher Miller. In interviews, he has said he wants to reduce the size of the national intelligence community, and shut down the FBI’s headquarters in Washington.

Thousands flee M23 seizes control of Goma in eastern Congo Thousands have fled Goma, a key city in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo, after M23 rebel fighters claimed control of the city Monday. The fighting between the rebel groups and the Congolese forces has been a decades-long conflict displacing 4.5 million people. It has spurred one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises and is a conflict rooted in ethnic tensions and desires to control DRC’s mineral resources. M23 is named after the date of a failed-peace agreement that was signed between the group’s predecessor and Congo on March 23, 2009. The United Nations and the United states say M23 is funded and directed by Rwanda, a claim the Rwandan government denies. #congolese #congo #m23 #democraticrepubliccongo #humanitariancrisis #drc #pbsnews #newshour #pbsnewshour #rwanda #rwandantiktok #unitednations #gomacongo #goma #easterncongo

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Wednesday in a news briefing that President Donald Trump "has not committed to putting boots on the ground in Gaza" and that the U.S. would not pay to rebuild it. The comments come the day after Trump said that the United States will "take over" Gaza and rebuild it in during a joint news conference with visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump said the U.S. will “be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous, unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site,” level the destroyed buildings and create economic development in the area. When asked who he envisions living in Gaza after it is rebuilt, Trump said, “the world's people,” including Palestinians. On Wednesday, the White House faced backlash from U.S. lawmakers and allies who did not support the proposal, many saying Palestinians should be allowed to stay on their land and that it would make tensions in the region worse. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters before his own meeting with Netanyahu that the president was "willing to think outside the box, look for new and unique, dynamic ways to solve problems that have felt like they were intractable." #pbsnewshour #pbsnews #newshour #gaza #middleeast #israel #netanyahu #Trump #news #politics #middleeastnews #palestine

Crews used duct tape to cover the name of the U.S. Agency for International Development on signs in Washington, D.C., on Friday as the Trump administration works to shutter the agency. A U.S. judge scheduled a hearing Friday to consider temporarily blocking President Donald Trump from dismantling USAID. Federal workers associations filed a lawsuit Thursday arguing Trump doesn’t have the authority to shut down the agency. The Trump administration posted a message on the agency’s website earlier this week, saying almost all “personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally.” USAID is responsible for humanitarian assistance and developmental assistance by working with non-profits and funding disaster relief responses. On Monday, the administration announced that Secretary of State Marco Rubio is the acting administrator and they also told PBS News White House Corespondent Laura Barrón-López that Pete Marocco will be appointed to oversee the agency as a deputy.
