Jake Sullivan Urges FBI Independence as Trump Nominates Kash Patel to Replace Chris Wray
Dec 1, 2024, 05:50 PM
Jake Sullivan, National Security Advisor to President Joe Biden, has emphasized the importance of maintaining the FBI as an independent institution, free from political influence. This statement comes in response to former President Donald Trump's nomination of Kash Patel to lead the FBI, replacing current Director Christopher Wray. Sullivan highlighted the Biden administration's commitment to the tradition of allowing FBI directors to serve their full terms, noting that Wray has served with distinction and remained insulated from politics. Republican Senator Mike Rounds of South Dakota also voiced support for Wray, describing him as a 'very good man' who has handled his role well, expressing caution over Trump's choice of Patel.
