Trump Nominates Loyalist Kash Patel to Replace FBI Director Wray
Dec 1, 2024, 12:06 AM
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Kash Patel, a former aide and loyalist, to serve as the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), replacing current Director Christopher Wray. Patel, known for his "America First" stance, previously served in key national security roles during Trump's first term, including as Chief of Staff at the Department of Defense. Trump announced the nomination on Truth Social, praising Patel as a brilliant lawyer, investigator, and "America First" fighter who has spent his career exposing corruption, defending justice, and protecting the American people. The appointment signals Trump's intent to upend the top U.S. law enforcement agency and address perceived internal conspiracies.
