From LifeNews:
Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s nominee for Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) director, said during his Senate confirmation hearing Thursday that he would initiate an investigation into the FBI’s 2023 “Richmond memo” that targeted so-called “radical traditional” Catholics.
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Missouri, asked Patel during the hearing: “Would you commit to me that you will … officially withdraw this memo and make it clear that this is not only unacceptable, but that it is an absolute violation of the First Amendment that every American enjoys under the Constitution of the United States?”
Patel replied: “If I’m confirmed, Senator, yes.”
Hawley followed up: “Will you also commit to me that you will conduct an investigation and find out who wrote this memo, who spread this memo, the field offices involved in this memo?”
