Summary

Kash Patel, Trump’s nominee for FBI director, faced tough Senate questioning over his past remarks and potential bias.

He refused to explicitly rule out investigating Trump’s opponents.

Democrats highlighted his past comments attacking the FBI and his involvement in Trump’s classified documents case.

Patel also distanced himself from Trump’s pardons for January 6 rioters.

Despite Democratic opposition, Patel is expected to be confirmed with Republican support, as backlash against his nomination was weaker than anticipated.

    Murkowski and Collins are going to furrow their brows sooo hard this time, while they wait for Thune to confirm there are enough yes votes to confirm him, so they can vote no.
