AG Mayes led a coalition of 19 other attorneys general in crafting a letter for Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, urging the Senate to require Kash Patel, President Trump’s nominee for FBI Director, to return for further questioning before the Senate Judiciary Committee. The request follows alarming reports of politically motivated firings at the FBI and efforts to compile a list of agents involved in investigating the January 6th Capitol riots.

“The Senate has a duty to get real answers from Mr. Patel before moving forward with his confirmation. Firing career FBI officials for political reasons undermines public safety and weakens our justice system. The American people deserve transparency about what’s happening at the FBI.”- AG Mayes
