Trump's FBI Pick Takes Backseat as Embattled Kash Patel Loses Trump's Support Amid Controversy
Former Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey will become the new deputy to Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino after being chosen by President Trump as a replacement for embattled director Kash Patel. The move comes despite ongoing criticism of Patel and a shift away from Trump's initial support for him.
Former Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is set to take on a new power-sharing role with deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino after President Trump's original pick for top FBI leadership, Kash Patel, faces opposition despite Trump's backing. This move suggests a shift in Trump's strategy as he looks to strengthen the FBI. Bailey will join forces with Bongino, who was appointed by Trump last year. The change in leadership indicates a potential recalibration of the FBI's direction under the current administration.
