The Senate will vote to confirm Kash Patel as the next FBI Director on Thursday afternoon at 1:45 pm ET.
Earlier Thursday the Senate broke the filibuster on Kash Patel’s nomination in a 51-47 vote.
The Deep State-media complex is attacking Kash Patel because of his stellar work exposing the Russiagate hoax in an effort to derail his nomination. Patel worked as former House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes’ top deputy and busted the Russiagate story wide open.
A handful of Democrat Senators posted up in front of the FBI headquarters ahead of Kash Patel’s confirmation vote in protest.

Update: RINO Senators Murkowski and Collins voted against Patel.
After breaking rank with several of Trump’s cabinet nominees, Senator Mitch McConnell voted to confirm Kash Patel.
The Senate confirmed Kash Patel as the next FBI Director in a 51-49 vote.
Kash Patel released a statement shortly after the Senate confirmed him as the next FBI Director:
I am honored to be confirmed as the ninth Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Thank you to President Trump and Attorney General Bondi for your unwavering confidence and support.
The FBI has a storied legacy—from the “G-Men” to safeguarding our nation in the wake of 9/11. The American people deserve an FBI that is transparent, accountable, and committed to justice. The politicalization of our justice system has eroded public trust—but that ends today.
My mission as Director is clear: let good cops be cops—and rebuild trust in the FBI.
Working alongside the dedicated men and women of the Bureau and our partners, we will rebuild an FBI the American people can be proud of.
And to those who seek to harm Americans—consider this your warning. We will hunt you down in every corner of this planet.
Mission First. America Always. Let’s get to work.
I am honored to be confirmed as the ninth Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
