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.
This report currently originates solely from Steve Bannon. There is no official corroboration of this report, and there is still no official statement from the Trump campaign.

Steve Bannon:
Blockbuster news for this audience: our own Kash Patel has just been named the Director of the FBI. I want to start with Mike Davis on this one. Mike, you’ve got Gaetz. President Trump, whether he’s got to use the Appointments Act of 1998 or, for the first time in history, force a recess appointment, has laid it down.Matt Gaetz is going to be his Attorney General. He doesn’t want to hear any gruff about it. What about Kash Patel? I think of the Touchdown Twins—Gaetz at main justice at DOJ and Kash Patel at the FBI, sir.
Mike Davis:
Kash Patel is another grand slam pick by President Trump to lead the FBI, the most broken and corrupt institution in Washington, D.C. Kash has serious legal credentials, serious national security credentials, and he will go in there and make the necessary reforms to fix the FBI, which has been so badly politicized and weaponized against Trump and his top aides and allies since at least Crossfire Hurricane.Crossfire Hurricane is the biggest scandal in American history, where the Obama-Biden administration weaponized the FBI and intelligence agencies to go after Trump because Hillary Clinton had her illegal home server, as Secretary of State, hacked with our nation’s most classified secrets and her foreign bribery schemes. That’s what this war against Trump is all about—an ongoing criminal conspiracy starting under Crossfire Hurricane. Kash is the perfect pick. He has the experience, the competence, and the loyalty to go clean house at the FBI.
WATCH:
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.”
