Republican President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday picks former National Security official and loyalist Kash Patel to lead the FBI
Republican President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday picks former National Security official and loyalist Kash Patel to lead the FBI, signaling an intent to drive out the bureau's current director, Christopher Wray.
