The Senate Judiciary Committee has voted 12 to 10 along party lines to advance Kash Patel's nomination to lead the F.B.I., despite Democratic calls for further hearings. The contentious vote reflects ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and the current leaders of the bureau. Scott's history, including his book attacking the F.B.I. and involvement as an adviser to Trump, has fueled controversy over his suitability for the role. Republicans argue that changes at the F.B.I. are necessary due to perceived unfair treatment of conservatives during the Biden administration.
