Published | Video Starts at 41:45

Director Patel, do you anticipate firing any additional FBI employees simply because they worked on January 6th related investigations? Thank you for the question. That email or memo was sent out prior to my arrival at the FBI. We have not addressed that specific email since I've arrived because the matter's in litigation in federal court. Do you anticipate firing any additional employees that may have worked in relation to the January 6 investigations? (41:45–41:55)
