Kash Patel, President Trump’s nominee for FBI director, will testify at his Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing. The hearing begins at 7:30 a.m. ET.
Patel, a longtime Trump ally, is a lawyer and former federal prosecutor who served in the Trump administration. He is nominated to replace Christopher Wray.
Recently confirmed DHS Secretary Kristi Noem wished Patel luck in a post on X Thursday morning.
“Good luck to my friend @Kash_Patel in his Senate confirmation hearing today. America needs a fearless leader at the FBI — someone who will clean house, expose the Deep State, and restore integrity. No more political witch hunts. Kash is the man for the job. Confirm him now!”
