Kash Patel, nominated to lead the FBI, disclosed details about his life in a questionnaire to the Senate Judiciary Committee, including legal defense work for serious crimes such as human trafficking. His document also highlights a shift in how he describes his previous role in the Benghazi investigation. The questionnaire offers a deeper look at Patel’s background as the son of Indian immigrants, his past as a public defender, and his participation in community programs. This new information complicates his confrontational public image previously presented in right-wing media and Trump rallies.
In a 24-page questionnaire sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Mr. Patel downgraded his work as a Justice Department investigator, showing a more nuanced portrait than his public persona.
Mr. Patel, in his responses, detailed his legal work defending individuals accused of serious crimes, complicating the simplistic view of his career.
