Former national security adviser John Bolton has expressed strong opposition to the potential nomination of Kash Patel as FBI director by President-elect Donald Trump. Bolton compared Patel to Lavrenty Beria, the chief of the secret police under Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin, and urged the Senate to reject the nomination decisively.
Bolton, who has been a vocal critic of Trump since leaving his position as national security adviser, raised concerns about Patel's suitability for the role. Patel, known for his loyalty to Trump and his criticism of the FBI, has sparked controversy with his nomination announcement.
