Former President Donald Trump has announced that Kash Patel, if appointed as FBI Director, would have the autonomy to investigate potential corruption among Washington D.C. politicians. Trump emphasized that Patel would have the obligation to probe any politician deemed dishonest, crooked, or corrupt. This statement was made during an interview where Trump clarified that while he would not direct Patel to investigate, he believes Patel has an obligation to do so if he believes there is wrongdoing. The announcement hints at a potential alliance between Patel and Trump's Attorney General, Pam Bondi, to address political misconduct.
