卡什·帕特爾以微弱優勢獲確認成為FBI新任局長

前總統唐納德·特朗普的親密盟友卡什·帕特爾（Kash Patel）以51比49的微弱優勢獲得美國參議院確認，成為聯邦調查局（FBI）的新任局長。這項確認於週四進行，大多數共和黨人支持帕特爾，只有阿拉斯加州的參議員麗莎·穆爾科斯基（Lisa Murkowski）和緬因州的參議員蘇珊·柯林斯（Susan Collins）打破黨派立場，反對他的提名。所有民主黨參議員都投票反對帕特爾，理由是對他的政治忠誠度和缺乏執法經驗的擔憂。

帕特爾是首位領導FBI的印度裔美國人，他承諾恢復公眾對該機構的信任，強調透明度、問責制和對正義的承諾。作為局長的首次公開講話中，帕特爾誓言將FBI重塑為一個讓美國人引以為傲的組織，並表示：「我們司法系統的政治化已經侵蝕了公眾的信任——但這一切今天結束。」他還向那些試圖傷害美國人的人發出嚴厲警告，聲稱：「我們將在地球的每一個角落追捕你們。」

帕特爾的提名受到了嚴密審查，民主黨人指責他是一名極右翼陰謀論者，並有破壞FBI獨立性的歷史。參議員馬丁·海因里希（Martin Heinrich）批評帕特爾缺乏經驗，稱他「完全沒有資格保護美國人的安全」。然而，共和黨人駁斥了這些擔憂，認為帕特爾將為該機構帶來急需的改革。特朗普讚揚帕特爾是「真理、問責制和憲法的倡導者」，並對其領導FBI的能力表示信心。

帕特爾上任之際，FBI內部正處於動盪時期，司法部最近迫使幾名高級官員離職，並要求提供參與2021年國會大廈騷亂調查的探員名單。帕特爾承諾將專注於精簡總部運作，加強現場探員的存在，並增強與地方執法部門的合作。他還強調了國會監督的重要性，承諾回應立法者的要求，並確保FBI以開放的方式運作。

隨著帕特爾上任，他面臨著在對特朗普的忠誠與FBI保持獨立性之間的平衡挑戰。他的任期預計將受到嚴密審查，而他應對這些挑戰的能力將決定他的領導力。帕特爾的支持者認為他的任命是改革該機構的一步，他們認為該機構已被政治化，而他的批評者則對其與前總統的密切關係保持警惕。
