Senate Confirms Kash Patel as FBI Director Amid Intense Scrutiny

The U.S. Senate voted on Thursday to confirm Kash Patel as the new FBI director, placing a close ally of former President Donald Trump at the helm of the nation’s top law enforcement agency.

 Patel’s appointment has drawn significant criticism from Democrats, who fear he may use his position to target Trump’s political adversaries.

Patel, a former national security official and conservative commentator, has been a vocal critic of the FBI’s previous leadership and investigations into Trump.
