Trump's FBI pick raises eyebrows with plans to reshape century-old bureau

Kash Patel‚ a well-known figure in the Trump world stands ready for his next big-time role; the long-time Trump loyalist got picked to run the nations top crime-fighting agency

His track record shows strong doubts about the FBI and intel groups operations (something he shares with the former president). Over past months Patel talked openly in media chats and wrote in his self-published work about his ideas to re-build the 116-year-old agency from ground-up

The path to becoming FBI chief wont be easy – Senate members are getting set to look deep into Patelʼs background: his tight bond with Trump‚ public statements‚ and bold ideas for changing how the Bureau works. The nomineeʼs earlier comments about totally re-doing FBI operations might make the approval process extra-tough; experts think its gonna take quite a while before any final decision gets made
