Senator Eric Schmitt, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, engaged in a confirmation hearing with Kash Patel, President Trump's nominee for FBI Director. On the agenda were discussions about Patel's plans to advocate for law and order and his approach to counter what Senator Schmitt described as the "weaponization of the department" under the Biden Administration. Schmitt emphasized the necessity for a reformer within the Bureau.
