Steve Bannon made a pointed assessment of the Trump administration’s current satisfaction with FBI Director Kash Patel after a bombshell report from The Atlantic about his personal conduct.
During Monday’s episode of his “War Room” podcast, Bannon suggested Fox News host Maria Bartiromo’s grilling of Patel to present evidence that the 2020 election was stolen was seemingly a “sanctioned hit” from the Trump administration.
Bartiromo pressed Patel on whether he had any information to back President Donald Trump’s claims that the 2020 election was “rigged” against him.
“Absolutely,” Patel said, before going on a long-winded rant. “We are not going to take this and have not taken this laying down.”
After playing the clip, Bannon compared the interaction to one that Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) had with then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in March, shortly before Trump fired her.
