WASHINGTON (AP) ? The Senate was ready to approve James Comey to be the next FBI director after a leading conservative ended procedural moves that were blocking the vote.
The abrupt change occurred after Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul announced that the FBI had addressed questions he had about the agency's domestic use of drones.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced the change on the Senate floor on Monday. A vote was upcoming.
