Trump nominee Gabbard heads toward confirmation as intelligence chief
Tulsi Gabbard, a former U.S. Representative with little intelligence experience, should be confirmed as the top U.S. spy by Wednesday morning, as Republicans line up behind a nominee once seen as among President Donald Trump's most controversial picks. The Senate voted 52-46, along party lines, on Monday on a procedural measure to limit debate on the nomination, clearing the way for the 100-member chamber to vote on Gabbard's confirmation to a position overseeing the 18-agency intelligence community. A vote to confirm Gabbard would be another victory for Trump's push to secure quick Senate approval for his nominees.

Senator seeks watchdog inquiry into Kash Patel, alleges behind-the-scenes role in purge at FBI
A top Democratic senator has asked the Justice Department's inspector general to investigate after he says he received information that President Donald Trump's pick to lead the FBI, Kash Patel, had been “personally directing the ongoing purge” of agents at the bureau. The letter Tuesday from Sen. Dick Durbin, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, asserts that Patel may have misled the panel at his confirmation hearing last month when he said in response to a question that he was not aware of any plans inside the FBI to punish or fire any agents. The hearing took place just hours before news broke that a group of senior FBI executives had been told either to resign or be fired, and one day before it was revealed that the Justice Department had demanded a list of thousands of agents who worked on investigations related to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, a move some bureau employees fear could be a precursor to more expansive firings.
