Kashyap ‘Kash’ Patel, a former lawyer of Gujarati heritage, was picked by US President Donald Trump to lead the FBI because of his fierce loyalty to Trump and the MAGA movement. Democrats have zeroed in on a book Patel wrote in 2022 in which he laid out an ‘enemies list.

President Donald Trump's pick to head the FBI, Kash Patel, won the approval of the Republican-controlled U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, clearing the way for a vote to confirm a director who has called for a radical reshaping of the nation's top law enforcement agency.
