Several Republican lawmakers rallied behind President-elect Trump's plan to appoint Kash Patel as F.B.I. director, emphasizing the need for significant changes in the agency.
Senator Bill Hagerty supported Trump’s choice of Patel, asserting that the American public expects sweeping change at the F.B.I. due to existing serious issues.
Senator Ted Cruz described Patel as a strong nominee, echoing concerns of partisanship at the F.B.I. linked to its inquiries into Trump and his associates.
