FBI Director Patel Testifies at Senate Hearing; Bessent Faces Congress on Economy

FBI Director Kash Patel faces the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. He’s likely to be pressed on his leadership, arrests related to the 2020 election, and probes into attempts to overturn that election. It’s Patel's first appearance before the Senate since May.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent testifies before the House Financial Services Committee hearing on Tuesday on the economy. It comes as the Treasury Department targets banks that are supporting Iran financially under Operation Economic Fury, as trade tensions between the United States and Canada persist, and as the benchmark 10-year Treasury bond yield reached its highest level since 2023.
