The Senate Judiciary Committee has delayed its vote on the nomination of Kash Patel to head the FBI. Democrats on the committe are so opposed to advancing the nomination they’ve forced a hold, meaning the committee vote won’t happen until next week.  The delay is not expected to prevent Patel’s eventual confirmation. Cmmittee chair Republican Chuck Grassley has described Patel’s career as a “study in fighting for unpopular but righteous causes, exposing corruption, and putting America First.”
