  • Patel has extensive experience as a public defender, federal prosecutor, House Intelligence Committee counsel, National Security Council member and chief of staff at the Pentagon.

Kash Patel, a former Trump administration official, has proposed a series of reforms aimed at addressing what he perceives as systemic issues within the FBI. In an interview with Just the News, Patel emphasized the need for accountability and transparency within the agency. He suggested that the FBI should be subjected to rigorous oversight, including the potential defunding of certain operations, reallocating resources to more critical areas, and implementing strict measures to prevent political bias. Patel also advocated for a complete overhaul of the FBI's leadership, arguing that current and former leaders have allowed or engaged in misconduct. He believes that without significant changes, including possibly breaking up the FBI into separate entities focused on different aspects of law enforcement, the agency will continue to suffer from what he describes as a lack of accountability and an overreach of power. His recommendations come in the context of ongoing debates about the FBI's role and operations, particularly in politically sensitive investigations.
