Fox News reports:
Dozens of Republican state attorneys general are backing Kash Patel, whom President-elect Trump has chosen to lead the FBI in his next administration.
In a letter to incoming Senate Republican leader John Thune, R-S.D., who currently serves as Senate minority whip, and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., 24 Republican attorneys general advocated for Patel to be the next FBI director.
“Kash Patel is the leader that the Federal Bureau of Investigation needs. The FBI has long been a beacon for hardworking and impressive investigators – but their leadership has failed both those brave men and women as well as the country. The FBI needs a smart, competent, reformer as its leader. Mr. Patel is the man for the job,” the letter of support read.
Read the full article. Iowa AG Brenna Bird is the lead signatory. Curiously, the letter at the link fails to mention all the times Patel has appeared on a pro-Hitler podcast, his QAnon batshittery, or his promotion of a scam “COVID vaccine reversal” concoction.
