WASHINGTON, D.C. – In a powerful statement following confirmation as the ninth Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the newly appointed head of the agency, Kas Patel expressed gratitude and outlined an ambitious vision for the Bureau’s future.
The confirmation, announced today comes with the backing of President Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi, who were thanked for their “unwavering confidence and support.”
The new Director highlighted the FBI’s storied history, from the era of the “G-Men” to its critical role protecting the nation after the September 11 attacks. However, the address quickly turned to the challenges ahead, acknowledging a growing public skepticism.
“The politicization of our justice system has eroded public trust—but that ends today,” the Director declared, signaling an immediate push for reform.
“Let good cops be cops—and rebuild trust in the FBI,” the statement emphasized.
The Director also pledged to work closely with the Bureau’s dedicated personnel and partners to restore the agency’s reputation as a pillar of American justice.
The address concluded with a stern warning to those threatening the safety of Americans: “We will hunt you down in every corner of this planet.”
With a rallying call of “Mission First. America Always,” the Director urged the agency to “get to work,” setting a determined tone for the tenure ahead.
The confirmation marks a new chapter for the FBI as it seeks to navigate a polarized landscape and reaffirm its role in safeguarding the nation.
