Trump Plans to Appoint Kash Patel as New FBI Director

Donald Trump announced plans to fire FBI Director Christopher Wray and replace him with Kash Patel, a longtime ally, pending Senate approval. Patel, known for his support of Trump and involvement in the "Russia Gate" investigation, has been critical of the FBI and Justice Department, advocating for significant changes. He has defended January 6 rioters and criticized the handling of cases involving Hillary Clinton and Hunter Biden. Trump's decision reflects his ongoing conflict with federal law enforcement agencies.
