President-elect Donald Trump nominated Kashyap “Kash” Patel for FBI director.
I am proud to announce that Kashyap “Kash” Patel will serve as the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Kash is a brilliant lawyer, investigator, and “America First” fighter who has spent his career exposing corruption, defending Justice, and protecting the American People. He played a pivotal role in uncovering the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, standing as an advocate for truth, accountability, and the Constitution. Kash did an incredible job during my First Term, where he served as Chief of Staff at the Department of Defense, Deputy Director of National Intelligence, and Senior Director for Counterterrorism at the National Security Council. Kash has also tried over 60 jury trials. This FBI will end the growing crime epidemic in America, dismantle the migrant criminal gangs, and stop the evil scourge of human and drug trafficking across the Border. Kash will work under our great Attorney General, Pam Bondi, to bring back Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity to the FBI.
Patel earned his BA in criminal justice and history at the University of Pennsylvania and a JD from University College Pace University.
Before entering the federal government, Patel worked as a Florida public defender for eight years after graduating from law school.
After that, Patel worked as a trial attorney in the United States Department of Justice National Security Division and as a legal liaison to the Joint Special Operations Command.
In 2017, Patel was a senior aide to former Rep. Devin Nunes when he chaired the House Intelligence Committee.
