During a Thursday interview on "Fox News @ Night," U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) predicted "great" things from Kash Patel once he's sworn in as FBI director.

Tuberville, who will be at the swearing-in, said Patel was "going to come out swinging" in his effort to stop the "corruption" and "weaponized environment" at the FBI.

"Kash Patel is going to be great," Tuberville told host Trace Gallagher. "He'll be sworn in tomorrow at 4:00 at the White House. I look forward to going. He is a great guy. He knows how to organize. He has been working behind the scenes himself, just trying to think about the things he wants to do."

"He is going to come out of the blocks and he's going to come out swinging. We have to do something to FBI. We've got to stop this corruption, this weaponized environment that they have," he concluded.
