Kash Patel, a close Donlad Trump ally, was confirmed as FBI director on Thursday. He vowed to reshape the agency into one that Americans can take pride in.
After Indian-origin Kash Patel was confirmed as the FBI director by the Senate on Thursday, he issued a stern warning to those who seek to “harm America,” saying that the agency will now “hunt you down in every corner of this planet.”
Following his confirmation, Patel expressed gratitude and pledged to reform the FBI into an agency that is “transparent, accountable, and committed to justice.” He extended his thanks to President Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi for their support, stressing his dedication to restoring public trust in the bureau.
“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,” Patel wrote on X.
