A group of over 50 FBI agents have joined together in a letter in support of Trump's FBI Director nominee Kash Patel to lead the embattled bureau.

Kash Patel, Trump's nominee for FBI Director, vows zero tolerance for violence against law enforcement in his Senate hearing. He also pledges to expose government corruption and highlights his role in counterterrorism and hostage rescue.

Later, speaking from the Senate floor, Durbin expressed “grave concerns” about Patel’s fitness to lead the F.B.I., calling him a “staunch political loyalist who has repeatedly peddled false conspiracy theories and threatened to retaliate against those who have slighted him personally and politically.

FBI Director nominee Kash Patel insisted during his confirmation hearing that since he was victim to a weaponized government, he's most qualified for the job.

On Thursday, Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the FBI, will testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on why he believes he should be approved to serve as head of the agency.

Trump ally Kash Patel, the president's pick for FBI director, is likely to be questioned about his fitness to lead Thursday during his Senate confirmation hearing.

Kash Patel, President Trump's pick to run the FBI, answers questions Thursday in a public hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Confirming Patel "would endanger the FBI's integrity and compromise its critical mission," the former officials wrote.

President Trump’s choice of a staunch loyalist to lead the bureau upends the post-Watergate tradition of picking nonpartisan directors. Mr. Patel’s enemies list and his vow to exact a campaign of retribution loom over the hearing.

His nomination roiled FBI insiders, with reports emerging that the bureau could face mass resignations should he secure the post.

Three of President Donald Trump’s cabinet picks prepared for skepticism and intense grilling from Democratic senators during their confirmation hearings Thursday.
