Kash Patel has called for radical changes at the FBI and was a fierce and vocal critic of the bureau’s work as it investigated ties between Russia and Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

The nomination of Kash Patel, who will serve as FBI director if approved by the Senate, sparked intense backlash from the left and effusive praise from the right on Saturday.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Republican President-elect Donald Trump said on Saturday he wanted former National Security official and loyalist Kash Patel to lead the FBI, signaling an intent to drive out the bureau’s current director, Christopher Wray. Patel, who during Trump’s first term advised both the director of national intelligence and the secretary of defense, has previously called for stripping the FBI of its intelligence-gathering role and purging its ranks of any employee who refuses to support Trump’s agenda.

US President-elect Donald Trump nominated his loyalist Kashyap ‘Kash’ Patel to head the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on Saturday. Making the announcement, the 78-year-old President-elect called Mr Patel an “America First fighter”.
