Kash Patel, President Trump’s nominee to lead the FBI, is expected to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday.

Patel held numerous national security roles during the first Trump administration but would be a new face at the FBI.

Patel regularly attacks a “deep state” he blames for having “weaponized the government for their own political and personal agenda.”

He has said he would clear out FBI headquarters on his first day in office.
