Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe has publicly criticized President Donald Trump's nomination of Kash Patel as the new FBI Director. During an appearance on CNN, McCabe expressed concerns about the implications of this choice for the FBI and the nation, suggesting that it signals a troubling direction for the agency. He described the nomination as a 'terrible development' for the men and women of the FBI, hinting at potential political motivations behind the appointment.
