Kash Patel, who previously criticized the FBI, is now its director, initiating significant reforms. After over 100 days in office, Patel has not yet turned the agency's headquarters into a museum. His leadership involves reevaluating the bureau's operations, such as redeploying agents from Washington, D.C., to field offices and shifting focus toward immigration enforcement. The agency faces challenges as senior agents have left under the Trump administration, diluting its experience. Patel and his deputy, Dan Bongino, are establishing reform teams amidst the complexities of leading a vast agency responsible for various significant investigations.
The enormity of the task before them leading a 35,000-strong agency that investigates everything from foreign spies and terrorists to hackers, bank robbers and white collar criminals appears to be settling in.
The hiring process can take a little bit of time, but we are approaching that finish line. This will help us both in doubling down on our reform agenda.
