UPDATE: Bannon clarified that the information is currently unverified and acknowledged that he misspoke regarding the nomination.
President-elect Donald Trump has reportedly selected Kash Patel as his pick for FBI Director.
The announcement came during an episode of Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, where Bannon lauded Patel as the ideal choice to lead the bureau during what promises to be a transformative administration.

However, Bannon clarified his earlier remarks regarding the potential nomination of Kash Patel as FBI Director.
Bannon acknowledged that the information he shared was unverified and admitted he misspoke when presenting it as confirmed news.
It was previously reported that Patel is rumored to be considered for the position of head of the FBI. GOP Sources have also independently confirmed this to The Gateway Pundit.
Additionally, Congressman-elect Abe Hamadeh, when asked Wednesday if Kash Patel would have a place in the Trump Administration, told The Gateway Pundit, “He’ll do amazing at the FBI,” noting that “he’s been very loyal to President Trump since the first Russia Collusion Hoax.”
Kash Patel’s impressive qualifications include several high-ranking positions in the intelligence and defense communities under President Trump.
While running counter-terrorism for President Trump, the president oriented counter-terrorism efforts to wipe out ISIS senior leadership and other key operatives. He further oversaw the resuing of American hostages AND detainees being rescued and returned to the United States.
As a terrorism prosecutor, Kash Patel prosecuted ISIS, Al-Qa’ida, and other terrorist networks, and he was the lead prosecutor for the World Cup bombings in Uganda that killed an American and 76 people.
And while Kash Patel was the Defense Department Chief of Staff, the DoD ended forever wars.
If it’s true that Kash Patel is the Director of the FBI, we can surely restore the law enforcement organization to its true purpose: investigating and prosecuting real criminals and criminal organizations, and ending the weaponization of the FBI to target innocent Americans.
Here is a flashback video of Kash Patel stating, he would “shut down the FBI Hoover Building on day one and reopen the next day as a museum of the deep state.”
