Republican lawmakers are falling in line behind Kash Patel, President-elect Trump's pick for FBI Director. The Morning Joe panel discusses.
The first signs of alarm came hours after President-elect Donald Trump announced what could prove to be one of his most consequential Cabinet picks.
They say the criminal investigations into whether Trump cooperated with Russia and paid hush money during the 2016 election, tried to reverse the results of the 2020 election and declined to return classified documents after leaving office were all meritless. Alex Pfeiffer, a Trump transition spokesman, said that Patel would end politically motivated criminal investigations, not launch them. “Kash Patel is going to end the weaponization of law enforcement,” Pfeiffer said.
