Sen. John Cornyn says Kash Patel has necessary votes to be confirmed
Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) has revealed that President-elect Donald Trump's FBI director nominee Kash Patel has the votes he will need to be confirmed by the Senate.
Speaking to conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, Cornyn expressed confidence that Patel will have a smooth path to confirmation, unlike many of Trump's nominees who are facing obstacles.
Patel has extensive experience as he previously worked as chief of staff at the Defense Department, deputy director of national intelligence, and as senior director for counterterrorism at the National Security Council.
Furthermore, Patel is one of Trump's most important nominees, as it will be his job to clean up the FBI after years of leftist takeover.
It was the FBI that raided Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, and it was the FBI that has been the muscle behind the political indictments brought by radical leftists across the country.
Patel has been vocal about his desire to reform the FBI and purge it of radical activists who would use the FBI to punish political opponents. His confirmation is key to Trump's success over the next four years.
