House Democrat Flat Out Accuses Kash Patel of Lying Under Oath During Hearing: 'It is a Felony!'

A congressional Democrat called out FBI Director Kash Patel for allegedly perjuring himself when he testified before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday about accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
