The Senate Judiciary Committee has scheduled a hearing for Kash Patel to appear for confirmation as FBI Director. 

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump announced his nomination of Kash Patel for the role of FBI Director in his next Administration in November.

Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post, commending Kash Patel's career of "exposing corruption, defending Justice, and protecting the American People."

"He played a pivotal role in uncovering the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, standing as an advocate for truth, accountability, and the Constitution," President Trump continued.

"This FBI will end the growing crime epidemic in America, dismantle the migrant criminal gangs, and stop the evil scourge of human and drug trafficking across the Border."
