“The Senate on Thursday voted 51-49 to confirm Kash Patel as FBI director. Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., voted ‘yes’ on the conservative firebrand’s confirmation, even while moderates Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Susan Collins, R-Maine, voted ‘no.’ … Patel, a vociferous opponent of the investigations into President Donald Trump and one who served at the forefront of Trump’s 2020 election fraud claims, vowed during his confirmation hearing last month that he would not engage in political retribution against agents who worked on the classified documents case against Trump and other politically sensitive matters. But his confirmation comes at a time when the FBI’s activities, leadership and personnel decisions are being closely scrutinized for signs of politicization or retaliation.” (02/20/25)
