Kash Patel, the first Indian-American FBI director, was confirmed after a close 51-49 Senate vote. His appointment is historic, reflecting his deep experience in national security and ties to former President Donald Trump. Patel has pledged to make the FBI more transparent and restore public trust. His roots trace back to Gujarat, India, adding a unique dimension to his leadership. While supporters see him as a reformer, critics worry about potential political influence.
