WASHINGTON – Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) released a statement following the Senate’s confirmation of Kash Patel to be Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
“Change is coming to the seventh floor of the J. Edgar Hoover Building, and that is a good thing. Over the past several years, political infection has diminished the FBI’s credibility and distracted the Bureau from its core law enforcement responsibilities. As FBI Director, Kash Patel promises to restore the FBI’s primary focus on law and order, as well as national security, and do right by the brave FBI agents who work day in and day out to keep Americans safe. From a congressional oversight standpoint, you can bet I’ll be keeping a close watch to ensure Congress gets answers to our questions and transparency assured.”
