The Senate recently confirmed Kash Patel, a controversial MAGA activist and conspiracy theorist, as the FBI director. His nomination sparked concern among Democrats who highlighted his history of attacking the FBI as part of a 'deep state.' Allegations emerged that Patel was already involved in FBI operations before his confirmation, reportedly receiving information to influence Justice Department actions. The confirmation vote was closely contested at 51-49, with notable dissent from a couple of Republicans. Critics expressed doubts about his suitability for leading a vital law enforcement agency.
"In what would normally be considered a signature moment of a government gone wild, the Senate on Thursday confirmed Kash Patel to run the FBI."
"Democrats were also concerned about reports that Patel was already meddling with the agency prior to confirmation and settling old scores for Trump."
