Trump taps Kash Patel for FBI director, a loyalist who would aid effort to upend law enforcement apnews.com/article/trum...
Text from AP article: “And though the Justice Department in 2021 halted the practice of secretly seizing reporters' phone records during leak investigation, Patel has said he intends to aggressively hunt down government officials who leak information to reporters and change the law to make it easier to sue journalists. During an interview with Steve Bannon last December, Patel said he and others "will go out and find the conspirators not just in government but in the media." "We're going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections," Patel said, referring to the 2020 presidential election in which Biden, the Democratic challenger, defeated Trump. "We're going to come after you, whether it's criminally or civilly. We'll figure that out. But yeah, we're putting you all on notice."
