A top Democratic Senator says he is in possession of “highly credible information” from “multiple” whistleblowers which shows FBI Director nominee Kash Patel is carrying out a “purge” of FBI employees before he has even been confirmed to the job.

In a letter to Inspector General Michael Horowitz Tuesday (obtained by The New York Times), Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) — who is the ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee — alleged that Patel has already been purging FBI staff.

“I have received highly credible information from multiple sources that Kash Patel has been personally directing the ongoing purge of career civil servants at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI),” Durbin wrote. “Although Mr. Patel is President Trump’s nominee to be FBI Director, he is still a private citizen with no role in government.”
