Kash Patel once said he would ‘come after’ journalists. It now hangs over his FBI candidacy.

A 2023 podcast interview that Donald Trump made with fellow Trump supporter Steve Bannon has gone viral as he named Kash Patel as his choice to lead the FBI. Patel stated in the recording from the previous year how he would deal with reporters if he were elected.
