DECEMBER 2024: TRANSITION Trump taps loyalist Kash Patel for FBI director, vowing to 'upend' agency

Trump taps loyalist Kash Patel for FBI director, vowing to 'upend' agency
"President-elect Donald Trump has tapped Kash Patel to serve as FBI director. It’s the latest bombshell Trump has thrown at the

Washington establishment and a test for how far Senate Republicans will go in confirming his nominees.
"I am proud to announce that Kashyap "Kash" Patel will serve as the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation," Trump posted Saturday night on Truth Social. "Kash is a brilliant lawyer, investigator, and ‘America First’ fighter who has spent his career exposing corruption, defending Justice, and protecting the American People."
The selection is in keeping with Trump's view that the government's law enforcement and intelligence agencies require a radical transformation."
