The Senate Judiciary Committee has voted 12-10 to advance Kash Patel’s nomination for FBI director.
Now that his vote has passed through the committee, his nomination will be up for a full Senate vote in the coming days.
Democrats successfully delayed the committee vote last week to force Patel, who was nominated by President Donald Trump, to testify a second time.
Last week, Tennessee Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn said during an interview with Fox News that the biggest reason Democrats like Sen. Adam Schiff of California and others “fear” Kash Patel to lead the FBI is because he knows their roles in perpetuating the “Russian collusion” hoax during Trump’s first term.
