Reporter spills about Trump team's 'clever strategy' to get controversial pick confirmed

Donald Trump's team is using behind-the-scenes moves to win over senators in hopes that they will confirm his controversial nominee to lead the FBI, according to a reporter.

Trump signaled his intention to appoint Kash Patel as the director of FBI, leading to outrage among critics who say he's too focused on being a loyalist.

Guardian reporter Hugo Lowell, who has long covered Trump's campaign, appeared on MSNBC on Saturday to discuss Patel's path to the position.
