Garden City High School graduate Kash Patel was described as an unqualified conspiracy theorist and a brilliant investigator seeking accountability before he was confirmed on Feb. 21 as the new FBI director.
The U.S. Senate voted 51-49 to confirm Patel’s nomination, with two Republicans joining 45 Democrats and two independents in opposition, following a contentious confirmation process that included one senator accusing the nation’s new top cop of possibly committing perjury.
