A report claimed Kash Patel may soon be removed as FBI chief with support from Donald Trump. Politico, citing a senior White House official, said it was “only a matter of time.” Patel has faced negative coverage in recent weeks over allegations about drinking habits, absences and leadership issues. He has denied all claims and filed a $250 million defamation lawsuit against The Atlantic. The White House publicly backed Patel, calling him an important part of the administration’s law and order team. (PC: Reuters)
