The American Senate confirmed on 20. February appointment of Kash Patel for the new director of the Federal Investigation Choose (FBI) for ten years.
He was nominated by the Director of US President Donald Trump, and the Senate approved the appointment with 51 votes for versus 49 against.
Republican Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski voted against Patela.
Through multiple circles for confirmation, Patel faced fierce rejection and sharp criticisms of Democrats who were concerned about his qualifications and his unwavering loyalty trumpet.
Also, the Democrats rated it as a conspiracy theorist and a man who has a very little experience in law enforcement.
Last week, a group of Democrats sent a letter to the Judiciary Stanitor’s letter to the Congress House for the Judiciary.
Democrats expressed concern that Patel will carry out Trump’s “retaliation” instead of focusing on the FBI mission to protect the American people.
Patel convinced the members of the Congress that, if appointed, support the independence of the FBI and avoid politically motivated investigations.
Patel (44) was in three functions in defensive, intelligence services and national security in the first Trump administration, but was recommended for a new executive director, promising to clear the “deep state” in the FBI.
He also said that he would launch a reprisal campaign against Trump’s opponents, including the FBI agents who researched former and future presidents, journalists and others.
During his first term, Trump suggested the appointment of the FBI Director, but the then secretary for Justice William Barr, now Trump’s critic, said only “over me dead.”
Patel promised to close the Headquarters of the FBI in Washington and send many agents of the Bureau throughout the country to fight crime, not to initiate even more intelligence collection surgery.
