President-elect Donald Trump has named longtime ally Kashyap 'Kash' Patel, who has been a frequent and harsh critic of the FBI, to serve as the bureau's next director in the new administration. Patel, 44, is an attorney with experience in national security, intelligence and counterterrorism and helped uncover the bureau's surveillance of the Trump campaign and first term. He has been a member of Trump’s transition team, advising the administration on other appointments.
This FBI will end the growing crime epidemic in America, dismantle the migrant criminal gangs, and stop the evil scourge of human and drug trafficking across the Border,' Trump's post concluded. 'Kash will work under our great Attorney General, Pam Bondi, to bring back Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity to the FBI.' The FBI issued a statement following Trump's announcment.
