Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday delayed the vote on Kash Patel's nomination to be FBI Director for a week. Opposed to his nomination, Democrats want a second hearing to further question Patel.

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

The delay is part of a trend of heightened hostility from Democrats to Trump’s nominees in the past week, as seen with Russell Vought.
