Kash Patel, President Trump's nominee to serve as FBI director, is set to appear Thursday on Capitol Hill for a high-stakes confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee amid calls from Republicans for massive reforms in FBI leadership and concerns from Democrats about his fitness to lead the nation's top law enforcement agency.

During an interview on CBS’ “Face The Nation,” Graham spoke favorably of Patel and said he believes the Republican-controlled U.S. Senate will confirm him.
