FBI Director nominee Kash Patel fired back at Democratic California Sen. Adam Schiff as he spewed several allegations about his past involvement with a song sung by the “J6 Prison Choir” during his Thursday confirmation hearing.
Schiff accused Patel of being unfit to be FBI director due to his promotion of a March 2023 song recorded by the “J6 Prison Choir” titled “Justice for All,” which consisted of defendants convicted for their involvement in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Patel said he had no knowledge about the defendants’ backgrounds and said he had instead “promoted the hell out of” assisting families in need.

“Isn’t that great? People who violently attack police have a number one song thanks to you, Mr. Patel. That’s something to be really proud of,” Schiff sarcastically said. “Now you claim, Mr. Patel, you didn’t know abut any of these people in the choir, is that right?”
“I did not know about the violent offenders and I did not participate in any of the violence in and around January 6,” the nominee said.
Patel, who said he did not record the song himself, released a music video for the song on Steve Bannon’s “War Room,” which included prisoners singing the National Anthem as Trump recited the Pledge of Allegiance. The song reached No. 1 on iTunes’ top songs following its release.
WATCH:
Patel immediately shot back at the senator as he challenged him to tell the Capitol police officers present in the room that he is proud of his promotion of the song, stating that he has always condemned violence against police officers and had worked alongside them throughout his entire career.
