I am honored to be confirmed as the ninth Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Thank you to President Trump and Attorney General Bondi for your unwavering confidence and support.

Patel vowed to restore faith in the FBI and the whole Trump administration looks to be trying to restore faith in the government.
