Kashyap Pramod Vinod “Kash” Patel, born on February 25, 1980, is an American attorney and former government official known for his roles during the Trump administration. He served as a senior aide to Congressman Devin Nunes, a U.S. National Security Council official, senior advisor to the acting Director of National Intelligence, and chief of staff to the acting U.S. Secretary of Defense.
On November 30, 2024, President-elect Donald Trump nominated Patel to serve as the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), signaling potential significant changes within the agency. Patel has been a vocal critic of the FBI, particularly regarding its investigation into alleged ties between Russia and Trump’s 2016 campaign. He has advocated for reducing the FBI’s authority and restructuring its operations, including proposals to convert its headquarters into a museum highlighting government bureaucracy.
Patel’s nomination has elicited varied reactions. Supporters, including Rep. Elise Stefanik and Rep. Byron Donalds, praise his dedication to the “America First” agenda and his efforts to expose corruption. Conversely, critics express concerns about his qualifications and potential impact on the FBI’s independence. Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe described Patel’s nomination as “a plan to disrupt, to dismantle, to distract the FBI.”
Patel’s career includes significant involvement in high-profile investigations. He played a key role in challenging the FBI’s surveillance actions related to Trump, contributing to the “Nunes memo.” He also testified in investigations concerning classified documents and election interference.
The Senate must confirm Patel’s nomination. If approved, he is expected to implement substantial reforms within the FBI, aligning with President-elect Trump’s vision for the agency.
