Kash Patel is facing a Senate grilling on Tuesday that will undoubtedly focus on the FBI's manhunt for Charlie Kirk's assassin.
While the saga of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein has dominated Washington and the media in recent months, Kirk's assassination has now taken center stage.
Director Patel was scheduled to appear on Capitol Hill this week before the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and now he will undoubtedly face a slew of questions over his agency's conduct during the search for his murder.
Prominent conservatives have blasted Patel for his handling of the investigation, which included three botched arrests.
The killer's capture was announced almost 44 hours after he shot Kirk - and only after his own father turned him in.
