FBI director Kash Patel

Kash Patel was sworn in as the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on Friday, February 21, after a narrow Senate vote, as the Indian-origin American described this as the biggest opportunity to lead the nation's top federal law enforcement agency.

“Anyone who thinks the American Dream is dead, look right here. You're talking to a first-generation Indian kid who is about to lead the law enforcement community in the greatest nation on God's Earth,” said Patel after his swearing-in ceremony.

Patel also promised to ensure accountability within and outside the FBI during his tenure and said that there will be “rigorous constitutional oversight starting this weekend.”

US President Donald Trump told the reports on Friday that he thinks Patel will be the best-ever FBI Director.

“I think he'll go down as the best ever at that position,” Donald Trump told reports on Friday, reported the news agency AP.

Trump also said that the FBI agents love Patel, “agents love this guy.”

Patel has taken charge of the FBI at a critical stage where the the Justice Department has recently forced out several senior officials and made an unusual request for the names of thousands of agents involved in investigations related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
