Trump's pick to head the FBI has parlayed his time serving in various national security roles in the first Trump administration to building a brand promoting pro-Trump conspiracy theories.

Kash Patel, a former Trump administration official, has utilized children's books and podcasts to disseminate conspiracy theories and promote his political views. His book "The Plot Against the King" reimagines the January 6 Capitol riot as a heroic defense against a coup, portraying the rioters as patriots. Another book, "The Trumped-Up Fairy Tales," features stories where Trump characters triumph over adversaries, subtly pushing narratives of election fraud and media bias. Additionally, through his podcast "Kash’s Corner," Patel discusses topics like the "deep state," election integrity, and alleged government corruption, often framing these issues in a way that aligns with far-right ideologies. His efforts are part of a broader strategy to influence younger audiences and their families with his political messaging, using storytelling as a vehicle for spreading conspiracy theories.
