Kash Patel's Confirmation Tightens Trump's Control of Government

_{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. tion-tightens-trump-s-control-of-government.html}
^{Published in Politics and Government on Thursday, February 20th 2025 at 15:00 GMT by Newsweek}

The Senate voted to confirm Kash Patel as FBI director on Thursday, tightening President Donald Trump's control of the federal government. Why It Matters. Patel was among a handfu

The article from Newsweek discusses the implications of Kash Patel's confirmation as a member of the House Intelligence Committee. Patel, a former Trump administration official known for his loyalty to former President Donald Trump, has been appointed to a key oversight role. This move is seen as part of a broader strategy by Trump and his allies to maintain influence within the Republican Party and potentially use the committee to investigate and possibly discredit ongoing probes into Trump's activities, including the January 6 Capitol riot. Critics argue that Patel's appointment could lead to a partisan approach in the committee's work, focusing on protecting Trump rather than conducting objective oversight. The confirmation is viewed as tightening Trump's control over significant aspects of the GOP's investigative and legislative agenda.
