Washington, USA: Kash Patel, 44, is scheduled for a confirmation hearing before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee on January 30 for his nomination as the next director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). If approved, Patel would become the first Indian-American to lead the FBI, marking a historic milestone. His nomination was put forward by former President Donald Trump, under whom Patel served in high-profile roles.

The Senate Judiciary Committee confirmed the hearing, titled “The Nomination of Kashyap Pramod Patel to be Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.” Patel would replace current FBI Director Christopher Wray. Known for his unwavering support of Trump, Patel highlighted his journey during a campaign event, sharing his family's escape from Uganda's genocidal regime in the 1970s and their pursuit of the American dream.

Patel emphasized the importance of determination and hard work in achieving success, praising U.S. immigration policies and reflecting on Trump’s past administration's focus on national security and economic growth. "My name is Kash Patel, and I’m here to stay," he declared, vowing to strengthen the priorities of law enforcement and global diplomacy.
