Overview

• FBI Director Kash Patel is scheduled to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday and the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.
• Patel drew rebukes after he incorrectly announced that a suspect was in custody, a claim contradicted by local officials before the FBI clarified that two people had been questioned and released.
• Authorities captured alleged shooter Tyler Robinson roughly 44 hours after Charlie Kirk was killed, with police announcing the arrest after Robinson’s father turned him in.
• Fox News, citing an anonymous source, reported that the White House, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche have no confidence in Patel, a claim not reflected in any formal action.
• President Trump publicly praised Patel and the bureau’s work, while reporting indicates former Missouri attorney general Andrew Bailey is being positioned for a deputy role at the FBI.
