Kash Patel, who vows to rebuild trust in the nation's top federal law enforcement agency, will be sworn in. The ninth Director of the FBI promised to be transparent with Americans and restore faith in the bureau when he takes over.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate on Thursday narrowly voted to confirm Kash Patel as director of the FBI, moving to place him atop the nation’s premier federal law enforcement agency despite doubts from Democrats about his qualifications and concerns he will do Donald Trump’s bidding and go after the Republican president’s adversaries.

The Senate confirmed former Justice Department attorney Kash Patel as FBI director to serve a ten-year term. Former Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell announced Thursday that he would not seek reelection to the Senate after his current term.
