Trump plans to appoint Kash Patel as FBI director
ISTANBUL (AA) – President-elect Donald Trump announced Saturday that he plans to appoint Kash Patel as new FBI director to replace Chris Wray.
Trump described Patel on his Truth Social platform as a “dedicated lawyer and investigator” who prioritizes America’s interests and has focused on exposing corruption and ensuring justice throughout his career.
Patel’s appointment will require Senate approval.
Trump appointed Wray to head the FBI in 2017 after he fired James Comey.
Patel, 44, held key roles during Trump’s first term, including chief of staff to the secretary of defense.
He also represented Trump in matters involving the National Archives and testified in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents investigation.
