Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the FBI, has for years battled US intelligence agencies over the handling of some of the government’s most sensitive national security secrets.

A Democrat has requested information from government agencies regarding claims that Kash Patel violated protocol during an attempted hostage rescue mission.

As Republicans' take on the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection evolved from disapproving to defensive, Kash Patel played a role in reframing their position.

Carl and Marsha Mueller, the parents of ISIS murder victim Kayla Mueller, exclusively spoke with Fox News Digital on their endorsement of Kash Patel to lead the FBI.

An FBI insider has come forward with new information questioning Kash Patel's judgment during sensitive hostage rescue missions, according to CBS News. Patel is set to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday for his confirmation hearing.

Patel is a controversial nominee, having long raged against the so-called Deep State and prioritized his loyalty to Trump.

The video, set to “Bad to the Bone” by George Thorogood, drew condemnation. “Kash Patel, Donald Trump’s pick for FBI Director, shared an AI-generated video of himself chainsawing Members of Congress, political opponents, and media outlets. Dangerous and disqualified,” Judiciary Democrats tweeted Saturday.

The MAGA loyalist will be in the hot seat and will be pressed on the more controversial elements of his background.

The Senate should quickly and overwhelmingly confirm Kash Patel to be the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Former and retired FBI agents have rallied behind Kash Patel ahead of his confirmation hearing this week, saying he will restore what they view as a loss of confidence in the bureau.

Kash Patel is the author of a children's book that is a cloying love letter to President Donald Trump. It's also deeply rooted in conspiracy theories.
