  • President-elect Donald J. Trump's choice to run the F.B.I. has a record in and out of government that is likely to raise questions during his Senate confirmation hearings.

The article from The New York Times discusses Kash Patel, a former Trump administration official known for his aggressive style and controversial actions. Patel, who served in various roles including at the National Security Council and as chief of staff to the acting Defense Secretary, has been both celebrated by Trump supporters for his loyalty and criticized by others for his tactics. He has been involved in several high-profile incidents, including the unmasking of a former CIA officer, Susan Gordon, and pushing conspiracy theories about the FBI and the Russia investigation. Despite his lack of formal intelligence experience, Patel has positioned himself as a key figure in Trump's circle, often engaging in public feuds and legal battles. His tenure has been marked by a mix of bravado and baggage, with his actions often drawing scrutiny and legal challenges, yet he remains a polarizing figure in American politics.
