FBI at Senate hearing: Patel urges crackdown on narco-traffickers

The head of America’s FBI says the country needs to deal with drug traffickers like they dealt with threats to the US after 9/11. Giving evidence to a Senate committee on Capitol Hill, Kash Patel says there has to be a whole-government approach to deal with drug cartels. The US has destroyed two boats off the Venezuelan coast in recent days, leading to questions about the legality of such action.
