President-elect Donald Trump has tapped Kash Patel as his nominee for FBI Director.

Patel, a former federal prosecutor and key figure in Trump’s first administration, is known for his aggressive stance against government bureaucracy and promises sweeping changes, including the creation of a transparency office to release records on the JFK assassination, 9/11, and similar events.

Patel rose to prominence while working as an aide to Rep. Devin Nunes on the House Intelligence Committee, playing a key role in challenging the Russia investigation.

He later served as chief of staff to the acting Secretary of Defense and has held roles in counterterrorism and intelligence operations.

Patel’s vision for reform includes shutting down the FBI’s J. Edgar Hoover Building, reopening it as a “museum of the Deep State,” and dispersing agents nationwide to focus on criminal investigations.

He has criticized the misuse of classification systems as a tool to conceal corruption.

With his deep ties to Trump’s agenda and his track record in intelligence and law enforcement, Patel’s nomination is seen as a game-changer for the FBI’s future direction.
