President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Kash Patel, a staunch supporter, to serve as the next FBI director, aiming to shake up the bureau and remove what he perceives as 'conspirators.' This move tests how far Senate Republicans will support Trump's nominees.
Kash Patel , former chief of staff to the defense secretary speaks on the day Republican presidential candidae and former U.S. President Donald Trump holds a campaign rally, in Prescott Valley, Arizona, on Oct.13.President-elect Donald Trump has picked Kash Patel to serve as FBI director, turning to a fierce loyalist to upend America’s premier law enforcement agency and rid the government of perceived “conspirators.
Patel “played a pivotal role in uncovering the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, standing as an advocate for truth, accountability, and the Constitution,” Trump wrote Saturday night. Patel’s past proposals, if carried out, would lead to convulsive change for an agency tasked not only with investigating violations of federal law but also protecting the country from terrorist attacks, foreign espionage and other threats.
During an interview with Steve Bannon last December, Patel said he and others “will go out and find the conspirators not just in government but in the media.”
