Trump Taps Kash Patel for FBI Director, Ousting Wray

President-elect Donald Trump has announced his intention to appoint Kash Patel, a staunch critic of the 'deep state' and Trump loyalist, as the new head of the FBI, replacing Christopher Wray. Patel, who has previously served as an advisor in Trump's administration, has proposed significant changes to the FBI, including removing its intelligence-gathering functions and targeting employees not aligned with Trump. This appointment, which requires Senate confirmation, signals Trump's continued focus on reshaping federal agencies to align with his 'America First' agenda.
