A former senior Trump administration official labeled Kash Patel “seriously dangerous,” claiming the FBI director has made him afraid of the U.S. government for the first time, according to a report.
President Donald Trump last December tapped Patel, a public defender who served in several roles in the first Trump administration, to lead the FBI, calling him an “‘America First’ fighter.” But under Patel’s leadership, several officials — current and former — have remarked on the shifting tactics at the bureau, scrutinizing his massive reassignments, firing decisions, and wavering between what he’s said and what he’s done now that he leads the bureau.
