President Trump’s nominee for FBI director is all for adding 4,000 people to the FBI facility at the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, bringing the total to more than 6,000.

“Four thousand seats still remain open so let’s go to work. I’ll come to Alabama and let’s fill those seats absolutely,” nominee Kash Patel told Alabama U.S. senator Katie Britt at his confirmation hearing Thursday.

Britt had asked and Patel promised to visit the FBI facility which sits on a site within the 38,000 acres at Redstone Arsenal.

“I really want you to come and visit with me the state-of-the-art facilities that we have there,” Britt told Patel. “They’re pretty incredible…we have the ballistics research facility, the hazardous device school…the terrorist explosive device analytics center…we have the sprawling North and South Campus of the FBI.”

If confirmed, Patel, a former public defender, prosecutor, and Department of Defense chief of staff, promised to streamline operations at the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., and bolster field agents’ presence across the nation.
