In a landmark appointment, Indian-origin Kash Patel has been approved as the first Indian-origin FBI director. His nomination was approved by the Senate with a narrow margin of 51-49 votes. Patel is a close supporter of President Donald Trump and has promised to eradicate politicization in the agency and regain the trust of the people. In his initial statement, he vowed to build a transparent and accountable FBI, stressing the importance of "letting good cops be cops." Patel also sent a stern message to those who would do harm to Americans, saying that the FBI would "hunt you down in every corner of this planet." His appointment follows dramatic changes at the Justice Department, where numerous officials have resigned or been reassigned under the new administration.
