WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) released the following statement after Kash Patel was confirmed as Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI):

“Kash Patel is a patriot who exemplifies the American dream. He understands that the rule of law is what makes America an exceptional nation, which is a stark contrast from what we saw over the last four years under Joe Biden. I’m confident he will reestablish trust in the bureau as FBI Director, and I was proud to support his nomination.”
