Trump and Patel – AI Mode
Donald Trump is considering removing Kash Patel as the Director of the FBI, though the White House has vehemently denied these claims.
Current Events
On Tuesday, November 25, 2025, news outlet MS NOW, citing anonymous sources, reported that Trump and his aides were frustrated by negative headlines surrounding Patel and that Trump was weighing replacing him with top FBI official Andrew Bailey.

The White House quickly refuted the report, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt calling the story “completely made up”. She posted a photo of Trump and Patel in the Oval Office, stating that Trump had laughed off the rumor and said Patel was “doing a great job”. Aboard Air Force One, Trump also told reporters that Patel was “doing a great job”.
Background on Kash Patel
Kash Patel is a key Trump ally who was confirmed as FBI Director by the Senate in February 2025, in a narrow 51-49 vote along party lines. His career has been closely tied to Donald Trump and his political agenda:
Congressional Aide: As a senior aide to Rep. Devin Nunes, Patel was the primary author of the “Nunes memo,” which alleged abuses of authority within the FBI’s investigation into links between Trump associates and Russian officials.
Trump Administration Roles: He held several national security positions during the first Trump administration, including Chief of Staff to the Acting Secretary of Defense.
Post-Administration Activities: After Trump left office in 2021, Patel worked on the board of Trump Media & Technology Group and founded a charity to help January 6 participants with legal costs.
FBI Director Tenure: Since becoming director, Patel has generated controversy through his management style, personnel decisions, and public handling of cases, including using an FBI jet for personal travel and posting information about active investigations on social media.
