We got a glimpse at Kash Patel’s notes prepared for his grilling at a Tuesday oversight hearing on Capitol Hill, with one page titled, “DURBIN INFO.”
The FBI director came ready with several bullet points’ worth of jabs to make at Senate Judiciary Committee ranking member Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) — several about the congressman’s wife, Loretta Schaefer Durbin.
The first line on Patel’s list points to Durbin’s wealth, asserting that it has “increased 364% since 1997.”
“Wife has lobbying conflicts,” another line reads.
Schaefer Durbin created a lobbying firm with a partner in 1977, and went on to start a leadership institute in Illinois to help train Democratic women to run for office, according to The Sun.
This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.
