President Donald Trump’s new administration is looking ahead to key Senate hearings this week for three of his most controversial nominees.

FBI director nominee Kash Patel broke with President Donald Trump over commuting sentences for Jan. 6, 2021 violence against law enforcement.

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

The nominee for F.B.I. director made his nonprofit into a publicity machine, selling his children’s book, his clothing brand and his image as Donald Trump’s ultimate loyalist.

Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the FBI, faces what could be a contentious confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, with questions expected over his experience level, brash rhetoric and concerns he would deploy the bureau to target the president’s foes.

Kash Patel, President Trump's pick for FBI director, faced members of the Senate Judiciary Committee in his confirmation hearing Thursday.

The man picked for a top security role in Donald Trump’s administration is a children’s author who believes the president has been persecuted and undermined by the “deep state”.

An Associated Press review of more than 100 podcasts that Kash Patel hosted or on which he was interviewed reveals how Patel has habitually denigrated the investigations into Trump.
