  • President-elect Trump named Kash Patel as his choice to lead the FBI, after Patel repeatedly slammed federal agencies such as the FBI as corrupted by the "deep state."

Kash Patel, a former national security official under President Trump, has been floated as a potential candidate to lead the FBI, known for his strong stance against what he terms the "deep state." Patel's career includes roles such as a staff member on the House Intelligence Committee, where he was involved in the investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe, and later as a key figure in the Trump administration, serving in the National Security Council and as chief of staff to the acting Defense Secretary. His outspoken criticism of the FBI and intelligence community, particularly regarding their handling of investigations related to Trump, has made him a controversial figure. Patel has accused these agencies of bias and has promised to "bust up" the deep state, a term often used by Trump supporters to describe entrenched bureaucrats allegedly working against Trump's agenda. His potential appointment would likely intensify the ongoing debate about the politicization of intelligence and law enforcement agencies.
