Kash Patel is set to face questions during a bid to be the next FBI director about his history of fierce criticism of current and former federal officials, including a list of 60 people he has deemed members of the “Executive Branch Deep State” that critics have dubbed an enemies list.
The list appears in an appendix of Patel’s book, “Government Gangsters: The Deep State, the Truth, and the Battle for Our Democracy.” It includes people such as FBI Director Christopher Wray, Attorney General Merrick B. Garland and President Joe Biden.
There are high-profile Democrats, Trump administration officials who have rejected his false 2020 election fraud claims and other administration officials who have since spoken out critically about his behind-the-scenes conduct.
