Trump's nominee for FBI director will face probing questions from U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats about his credentials and history of making false claims about the agency he's been tapped to lead.

Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the FBI, insisted to deeply skeptical Democrats on Thursday that he did not have an “enemies list" and that the bureau under his leadership would not seek retribution against the president's adversaries or launch investigations for political purposes.

Kash Patel, President Donald Trump's pick to lead the FBI, portrayed himself Thursday as the right leader of a law enforcement agency he said had lost public trust and told senators he would commit himself to ''due process and transparency" if confirmed as director.
