What they posted
Welch asked Kash Patel to pledge not to interfere with November’s election. Patel answered with an attack. That exchange, his hearing notes, and five more moments in our September 15 Catch-Up: https://t.co/Zr5vnBVK2G
Why it's Truth
Multiple independent Tier 2-3 sources (Roll Call, Mediaite, PBS, Sen. Welch official site) and video/transcript records confirm Welch asked Patel for the pledge on election non-interference during the Sept. 15, 2026 hearing, and Patel responded with an attack rather than the pledge.
