U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) today secured the commitment of Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), to end the Biden-era FBI attacks on Christians and parents and seek accountability for those responsible.
During his Senate Judiciary confirmation hearing, Patel assured Senator Hawley that he would, “[F]ully utilize, if confirmed, the investigative powers of the FBI to give you the information you require and also to hold those accountable who violated the sacred trust placed upon the FBI.”

Senator Hawley highlighted the FBI’s political persecutions of pro-life Christians exercising their faith, parents speaking out at school-board meetings, and Americans posting about politics on social media.
“Do you think it’s appropriate for the FBI to single out and target people of faith in order to discourage the exercise of their First Amendment rights?” Senator Hawley asked Patel.
The Senator continued, asking “Do you think it’s appropriate for the FBI to try to pressure the largest technology corporations in the world . . . to censor the political speech of everyday American citizens to try and violate the First Amendment?”
Patel unequivocally condemned the Biden Administration’s miscarriage of justice and vowed to deliver Americans the “new brand of justice” they deserve.
