Story
Trump to Appoint Kash Patel as FBI Director, Criticizes Wray's Leadership and Expresses Dissatisfaction
Dec 8, 2024, 02:48 PM
In a recent interview, President Donald Trump indicated that he plans to appoint Kash Patel as the new FBI Director, suggesting that current Director Christopher Wray will be dismissed. Trump expressed dissatisfaction with Wray, stating, "He invaded my home" in reference to the FBI's raid on Mar-a-Lago. He further criticized Wray's handling of crime, claiming it is at an all-time high. Trump emphasized that Patel would have the autonomy to investigate any politicians he deems corrupt, stating, "If they think that somebody was dishonest, crooked or a corrupt politician, I think he probably has an obligation to do it." Trump clarified that he would not direct Patel to pursue specific investigations, including against President Joe Biden, instead leaving such decisions to Patel and incoming Attorney General Pam Bondi. The President's remarks reflect a broader support for Patel within conservative circles, with Trump noting that Patel is regarded positively by figures like Trey Gowdy.
