Kash Patel, a former Defense Department official and ally of Donald Trump, is emerging as a leading candidate for the position of CIA Director in a potential Trump administration. Patel, known for his stance against the so-called 'Deep State,' is also under consideration for other national security roles within the FBI and the Department of Justice. His proposed reforms include the establishment of a 24/7 declassification office to release files related to significant historical events, such as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the September 11 attacks. Additionally, he has indicated a desire to disclose names from Jeffrey Epstein's black book, which he claims could reveal instances of blackmail. Reports suggest that Patel is expected to be appointed to the CIA Director position if Trump returns to the presidency.
