In a bold move, Kash Patel, nominated by President Donald Trump as FBI director, stated his primary goals for the agency are transparency and empowering 'good cops.' On the eve of his confirmation hearing, Patel expressed his agenda through an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal.
Advocating for transparency, Patel criticized the FBI's lack of responsiveness to congressional inquiries. If confirmed, he pledges to enhance congressional oversight and improve communication to restore public trust. Moreover, he emphasizes strengthening collaboration with local law enforcement and increasing field agents' presence nationwide.
Patel, the highest-ranking Indian-American nominee in Trump's administration, emphasizes his commitment to justice, fairness, and the rule of law, rooted in his family's history. By not involving the FBI in prosecutorial decisions, he intends to focus on its core mission: investigating criminals and guarding national security.
