Former Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) had a scathing assessment of President Donald Trump's FBI director nominee Kash Patel after his confirmation hearing Thursday.

This comes as Zuckerberg has drawn heavy fire for his increasingly stark attempts to ingratiate himself to the Trump administration, from replacing Facebook's fact-checking system to arranging a $25 million settlement for a frivolous lawsuit Trump filed for Facebook suspending his accounts after the Jan. 6 attack — all of which appears calculated to get out from under years of antitrust investigation.
