Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday delayed the vote on Kash Patel's nomination to be FBI Director for a week. Opposed to his nomination, Democrats want a second hearing to further question Patel.

Senate Democrats on Thursday threw a wrench in the confirmation process for Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s choice to head the FBI. A scheduled Senate Judiciary Committee meeting to advance Patel’s nomination was delayed after Democrats on the panel objected.

Patel is a controversial nominee, having long raged against the so-called Deep State and prioritized his loyalty to Trump.
