Patel Admits Stock Ties While Overseeing FBI’s China Investigations
FBI Director Kash Patel was pressed hard by Rep. Hank Johnson over his financial ties to a company originally founded in China. Johnson questioned whether Patel’s stock holdings in a firm connected to Shein’s Chinese billionaire founder create a dangerous conflict of interest — especially as the FBI is tasked with investigating China’s cyber theft, espionage, and influence operations.Patel admitted under oath that he still holds the stock, insisting it was cleared by the Department of Justice during his confirmation. But Johnson didn’t back down, warning it looked like “the fox guarding the henhouse.” The tense exchange then veered into accusations about shielding child exploitation investigations, drawing a fiery response from Patel.
This moment goes beyond one hearing. It raises deeper questions: Can top U.S. officials hold personal stakes in companies tied to adversarial nations without eroding public trust? How much transparency is owed to the American people? And what happens to accountability when politics collides with national security?
