Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said he’s eyeing next week for a final committee vote on Kash Patel’s nomination to lead the FBI, rejecting Senate Democrats’ request for a second formal hearing with the nominee.

Democrats in the Senate Judiciary Committee sited Kash Patel pleading the fifth, and his loyalty to President Trump, as a reason to delay the vote.

Democrats on a key Senate committee delayed Kash Patel‘s committee vote for one week, moving to “hold over” his nomination for FBI director, although he is still on track to be confirmed by the full Senate.
