Senate Democrats Delay Kash Patel's Confirmation

Senate Democrats successfully delayed the confirmation process of Kash Patel for FBI director, arguing that they require more time to review his conflicting testimony during the confirmation hearing. Patel has been accused of refusing to disclose his grand jury testimony regarding Donald Trump's handling of classified documents, which has raised serious concerns among Democratic senators. They have requested a one-week hold before a committee vote, utilizing a procedural tool available to minority parties in the Senate. Despite the delay, Republican majority support suggests Patel may still ultimately be confirmed despite the objections raised.
