FBI Director Chris Wray's resignation ahead of Trump's potential return to the White House has sparked controversy, particularly concerning Trump's nominee, Kash Patel. Patel, a vocal Trump ally, has publicly threatened to target individuals in the media and government whom he believes spread misinformation and aided Biden's election victory. This raises concerns about potential attacks on press freedom and political opponents if Patel assumes the leadership of the FBI.
This is an adapted excerpt from the Dec. 11 episode of “Alex Wagner Tonight.” Just weeks before Donald Trump is set to return to the White House, we got the huge news that FBI Director Chris Wray plans to resign at the end of President Joe Biden ’s term. For some perspective as to why this is so significant, remember that FBI directors are appointed to 10-year terms precisely to avoid the impact of partisan politics.
” Patel has also engaged with the far-right conspiracy theory known as QAnon, which asserts that there is a deep state within the U.S. government that works to protect a cabal of pedophile elites who secretly traffic children and harvest chemicals from their blood.
