“I am honored to be confirmed as the ninth Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Thank you to President Trump and Attorney General Bondi for your unwavering confidence and support. The FBI has a storied legacy—from the “G-Men” to safeguarding our nation in the wake of 9/11. The American people deserve an FBI that is transparent, accountable, and committed to justice. The politicalization of our justice system has eroded public trust—but that ends today,” Patel wrote on X.

Taking up his position as the new FBI Director, Kash Patel came in with a blueprint for the agency focusing on what he views as "necessary reforms" that would build trust-injecting practices into the agency and support law enforcement. “My mission as Director is clear: let good cops be cops—and rebuild trust in the FBI. Working alongside the dedicated men and women of the Bureau and our partners, we will rebuild an FBI the American people can be proud of. And to those who seek to harm Americans—consider this your warning. We will hunt you down in every corner of this planet. Mission First. America Always. Let’s get to work,” Patel said.

Patel was a close ally of President Donald Trump. He was confirmed by the Senate on Thursday as the new FBI director. He promised Americans that he would make the agency an object of pride for them.

His nomination faced opposition from Republican Senators Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine, but he secured the backing of the rest of the Republican Party, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who had previously opposed other Trump nominees.

By a narrow 51-49 vote, the confirmation was passed, with every Senate Democrat standing in opposition to him.

Earlier in the week, Patel cleared a key procedural hurdle with strong Republican support. On Tuesday, the Senate voted 48-45 along party lines to advance his nomination, triggering a 30-hour debate before the final approval on Thursday, The New York Post reported.
