The article from *The New Republic* discusses Kash Patel, a former Trump administration official known for his involvement in controversial political actions. It highlights how Patel, who served in various capacities including at the National Security Council and as chief of staff to the acting Defense Secretary, has been accused of undermining the rule of law. The piece details his role in the events leading up to and during the January 6 Capitol riot, his efforts to promote conspiracy theories, and his attempts to influence intelligence reports to align with Trump's political interests.
