FBI Director Kash Patel Clarifies Bestiality Policy at Senate Hearing

  • FBI Director Kash Patel defended the new policy that does not automatically disqualify applicants who have engaged in bestiality, stating it aims to protect victims of sex trafficking coerced into such acts.
  • Patel emphasized that while applicants with a history of bestiality won't be automatically disqualified, they must still meet rigorous standards and cannot have voluntarily engaged in such acts.
  • Senators expressed disbelief over the implications of the policy, particularly regarding the definition of victims and the circumstances under which bestiality may occur.
