Republican senator, Susan Collins has disclosed that she will not support President Donald Trump‘s candidate, Kash Patel for FBI director.
According to Fox News, Collins said: “The nomination of Kash Patel to serve as Director of the FBI comes to the Senate against the backdrop of recent personnel actions at the Department of Justice, including the resignations of several career federal prosecutors who felt they were being instructed to act in a manner inconsistent with their ethical obligations.”
She made this declaration on Thursday statement released just before a key procedural vote.
She added: “While I strongly support efforts to ensure all federal employees perform their responsibilities ethically and in accordance with the law, Mr. Patel’s recent political profile undermines his ability to serve in the apolitical role of Director of the FBI.”
