The Senate Judiciary Committee met to consider the nomination of Kash Patel to serve as FBI director in the Trump administration. But Senate Democrats pushed back a key vote to advance the nomination of Kash Patel, forcing consideration of President Trump’s pick to lead the FBI to be postponed until next week. Shortly after convening, Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee moved to place a hold on Patel, with Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) acknowledging that “the minority has exercised their right and my right under the committee rules to hold over the nomination of Kash Patel to lead the FBI.” “This is an unusual nomination, and it’s a 10-year nomination,” said Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), the ranking member on the panel, noting that the lengthier term was adopted “to make sure that we took politics out of the equation.”
