In a riveting interview on The Balance with Eric Bolling, former New York City Mayor and Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani voiced his discontent with recent decisions at the Department of Justice and FBI. Long a stalwart of the MAGA movement, Giuliani shared his deep frustration, emphasizing his dissatisfaction with the current direction of these institutions.
Giuliani’s remarks follow reports of FBI Director Kash Patel appointing Steven Jensen to lead the prestigious FBI Washington Field Office. The New York Times revealed Jensen’s significant role in the response to the January 6th Capitol events. Underlining his impact, former FBI Agent Kyle Seraphin noted Jensen’s position as Section Chief of the Domestic Terrorism Operations Section, which was allegedly “fixated” on Jan. 6.
Jensen reportedly conducted daily calls with law enforcement nationwide about the protests, where he allegedly declared the nation was “under attack by J6ers,” as per a former FBI National Security Intelligence Supervisor.
Initially, The New York Times report was labeled “fake news” by a high-ranking FBI official cited in an earlier article. However, confirmation from multiple federal sources now verifies Jensen’s appointment as Assistant Director of the Washington Field Office, a claim indirectly confirmed by a post on X shared by Director Kash Patel’s official FBI account.
Defending his initial comments, the high-ranking official clarified that his “fake news” remark was directed at the Times’ portrayal of Jensen’s role during January 6th, not the appointment itself. He emphasized Jensen’s internal reputation as a “rockstar.”
While Giuliani praised the Trump-era Justice Department overall, he stressed concerns over specific personnel choices, highlighting that critical positions are going to individuals with controversial past roles.

Eric Bolling:
Speaking of lawfare—you were under a lot of scrutiny. You got a lot of heat. How are you? The last I read was that they finally backed off and said, “You can keep your Manhattan apartment. You can keep your World Series rings.” It was insane what they were doing to you.And by the way, the reason I brought this up—in the break, we were talking about the way they’ve treated Bannon and Peter Navarro as well. So talk to us a little bit.
Rudy Giuliani:
Well, I get a lot of sympathy and a lot of support. And there’s no question I was beaten up pretty bad. But my friends Steve and Peter Navarro—much worse, in being put in jail. I mean, four months in jail.How about putting leg irons on Peter Navarro? I must have arrested 5,000 people. I probably used leg irons once or twice. I can’t even recall it. It’d probably have to have been a five-times murderer. That was just done because the FBI was crooked.
I’m very upset now because Kash Patel and Pam Bondi have taken one of the people who was running the unit going after Catholics in the Justice Department—and also going after J6 people—and put them in charge of the Washington office of the FBI.
I tried to reach them today, and they didn’t call me back. I want to know why. They say there’s an explanation for it. It better be damn good.
Eric Bolling:
So tell us—do you think Kash and Pam are doing the job that we’re doing?Rudy Giuliani:
I do. Up until now, I was over-the-top enthusiastic, particularly about the Justice Department. Wow—Justice Department did a great job.So I’m going to assume there’s a reason for this that I don’t know, but I can’t give it, and I’m getting hundreds of calls about it—particularly from the J6 group, because as you can imagine, they’re very tight.
This guy—some of them tell me—this guy was mean and vicious to them. Horrible. Now he’s going to run the Washington office for the FBI? I don’t know. Maybe he was a whistleblower. I don’t know. I have to see.
Eric Bolling:
Yeah, I have to see. Let us know if they get back to you.
