FBI Director Kash Patel testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee, defending a policy change that no longer automatically disqualifies applicants who have engaged in bestiality. Patel clarified that the change aims to consider victims of human trafficking who may have been forced into such acts, and that voluntary engagement in bestiality remains a disqualifier. The hearing sparked intense questioning from Senator John Kennedy.
