FBI Director Kash Patel faces sustained questions about agents who worked on the Mar-a-Lago and January 6 investigations, followed by scrutiny of whether FBI resources were used to look into reporters. Patel says most departures discussed were retirements, including departures before his arrival, and denies that simply working on those investigations justified dismissal. He also cites misconduct standards and an inspection process.
This edit preserves the questions, answers, follow-ups and procedural interventions. It includes Patel’s records-preservation assurance, his qualified response about a New York Times reporter and his categorical denial concerning Atlantic reporter Sarah Fitzpatrick. The exchange raises accountability questions but does not establish retaliatory firings or improper searches. AMERICA REPORT examines which answers are specific, which remain institutionally incomplete, and what records would be needed to test the competing claims.
00:00 Opening highlight
00:17 Mar-a-Lago investigators: questions about dismissals, the quoted ‘cleaned house’ claim, and Patel’s qualifications that most departed voluntarily and before his arrival.
04:01 January 6 investigators and personnel accountability: preserve repeated questions, Patel’s distinction between case assignment and alleged misconduct, his inspection-process defense, and the complete records-preservation exchange.
07:25 New York Times reporter: retain the disputed SWAT allegation, Patel’s rejection and objections, procedural interventions, the database question, and his uncertainty about other FBI personnel.
09:13 Atlantic reporter Sarah Fitzpatrick: retain the article dispute, complete resource-use question, Patel’s categorical denial, and the closing procedural response.

Putin, Donald Trump and China’s Xi Jinping could hold a three-way meeting on the sidelines of next month’s APEC summit in China, the Kremlin said on Monday.
In light of the proposal, President Zelenskyy has called it a ‘tragedy’ if the US sides with Russia on the Ukraine war.
Simon Marks hears from caller Henry who accuses him of being ‘blinded by his hatred for Trump’.
Instead, Simon presents him with the facts of Trump’s relationship with Putin… but caller Henry doesn’t seem to want to take it on board.

A car crash destroyed a 25-year-old woman’s small intestine. It would take three years and placement on multiple hospital waiting lists before she received an intestine transplant. Her journey highlights a broader challenge facing the transplant system: how to better inform patients about their options. (AP video/Shelby Lum)

🇫🇷 In Paris, looters ransacked and wrecked the headquarters of the well-known French esports club Team Vitality, known as V.Hive.
Rioters smashed the glass windows and storefronts of the complex on Sevastopol Boulevard. Some property, including branded gaming chairs, was dragged outside and burned.
Computer equipment was completely stripped from the office and training base. Social media showed looters pulling expensive components, including RAM sticks, out of PCs right on the asphalt.
The thieves also took the organization’s championship trophies. Among them was the StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026 Counter-Strike 2 cup that the team had won just a month earlier, in September.
Videos later appeared of rioters showing off the stolen trophy on the streets.
