During the confirmation hearing for FBI director nominee Kash Patel, Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., raised questions about Patel's involvement in a recording of a song released by Capitol Riot inmates. The song allegedly featured President Donald Trump reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.
Schiff confronted Patel about conflicting statements regarding his role in the creation of the song. Schiff referenced a podcast where Patel mentioned capturing the audio, recording it in a studio, mastering it, and releasing it as a song. Patel responded by emphasizing the use of 'we' in his statement, indicating a collective effort rather than personal involvement.
Despite Schiff's insistence that Patel was part of the 'we' mentioned in the podcast, Patel maintained that he did not personally participate in the recording or mastering of the song. The exchange between Schiff and Patel during the hearing highlighted differing perspectives on Patel's level of involvement in the controversial recording.
