The Senate on Thursday confirmed Kash Patel, an Indian-origin FBI director. Kash Patel took his account on X and said, "The FBI has a storied legacy—from the “G-Men” to safeguarding our nation in the wake of 9/11. We will hunt you down in every corner of this planet.” On Thursday, Dan Scavino, Assistant to the President and White House Deputy Chief of Staff, announced that U.S. President Donald Trump had officially signed the commission confirming Kash Patel as the ninth Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Patel thanked President Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi for their support and emphasised his commitment to restoring public trust in the FBI. While the nomination faced opposition from Republican Senators Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine, Patel received backing from the rest of the Republican Party, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who had previously opposed other Trump nominees, according to NBC News.
