American and Trump loyalist, has been confirmed as the FBI director by the US Senate through a narrow vote. His nomination has sparked debate over the future of the FBI and potential political interference.

FBI deputy director Dan Bongino is a bombastic podcast host who has never worked at the FBI and has spent years pushing conspiracy theories about the bureau.

Patel is a controversial nominee, having long raged against the so-called Deep State and prioritized his loyalty to Trump.

The vote puts the Trump loyalist atop the nation’s premier federal law enforcement agency despite Democrats' doubts about his qualifications and concerns he'll do Trump’s bidding and go after the Republican president's adversaries.

New FBI Director Kash Patel is expected to be named the acting head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

That wasn’t just some off-the-cuff remark from FBI director Patel — the feds really could be working with UFC fighters in the near future.

FBI Director Kash Patel is “dead serious” about contracting with the UFC to help train rank-and-file agents, according to the organization’s president, Dana White. Patel, a Las Vegas resident, was in attendance for UFC 313 at T-Mobile Arena on Saturday night and discussed the potential plan with the head of the Las Vegas-based fighting organization.
