US President-elect Donald Trump announced the sheriff’s appointments this Saturday. Chad Chronister as Administrator of the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Kash Patel as the future director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

Patel went so far as to say that the organization’s headquarters should be closed and that the country’s secret information system is a tool of the “deep state.”

Patel replaces Chris Raychosen by Trump in 2017 for a traditional 10-year term, replacing James Comey.

The controversial designation must be confirmed by the Senate and could draw criticism from law enforcement officials and the FBI, which Patel advocates for a purge of “deep state” elements.

“Cash is a brilliant lawyer, investigator and America First fighter who has dedicated his career to… expose corruption, defend justice, and protect the American people.” Trump announced this in his statement on the Pravda social network.

Trump also noted that Patel was very critical of what he calls the “Russian hoax” regarding Kremlin interference in the 2016 elections and was a “defender of truth”.

Trump recalled that Cash was the Pentagon’s chief of staff. Deputy Director of National Intelligence and Director of Counterterrorism at the White House National Security Council.

“It is the FBI that will end the growing crime epidemic in the United States. dismantle criminal gangs of migrants and stop the evil scourge of cross-border drug trafficking,” – Trump said in a statement, recalling that he will obey the orders of his candidate for the post of Attorney General, Pam Bondi, which must also be approved by the Senate.

Patel is very popular among the Trump base for expressing ideas against government power in books such as “Gangster Government” in which he calls for the decapitation of the entire FBI, or the children’s book The Plot Against the King, in which he manages to educate younger audiences about the Trump campaign’s 2016 investigations into possible contacts with Kremlin envoys, which he has extensively criticized.

Patel also suggested that FBI headquarters must be closed “on day one” or indict journalists who “lie to citizens and who helped Joe Biden rig the election.”

Trump expressed his disagreement with Wray and suggested that He should resign if he doesn’t want to get fired. Trump dumped the former FBI director, angered by his insistence on investigating ties to Russia among some members of his campaign.

In addition, Trump nominated the sheriff of Hillsborough County (Florida). Chad Chronister as the next DEA administrator.

“Chad will work with our great Attorney General Pam Bondi to secure the border, stop the flow of fentanyl and other illegal drugs across the southern border, and save lives,” the tycoon said on his Truth Social account.

Chad served in the sheriff’s office of the aforementioned region. more than 32 years, although he has served as head since 2017, being re-elected twice.
