Kash Patel, President Donald Trump's pick, has been sworn in as the ninth-ever FBI director. Patel, who is Indian-American, is the first person of color to become FBI director. He has promised to restore faith in law enforcement and issued a warning to those who seek to harm Americans. Patel faced a rocky path to confirmation, with Democrats using their political weight to delay the vote. He brings extensive experience in national security and intelligence to the office.
