Washington, D.C. – Feb. 20, 2025 – Kash Patel has officially been confirmed as the new FBI director following a contentious Senate process. The final vote took place Thursday, with a 51-47 tally to end debate on his nomination, clearing the way for his approval.
Patel, a longtime Trump ally, has vowed to reform the bureau, aiming to depoliticize decision-making after years of controversy. His confirmation followed a heated nomination process, during which Democratic senators questioned his stance on the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
President Trump has expressed confidence in Patel, calling him the right choice to restore the FBI’s reputation.
