President Trump’s choice for F.B.I. director, Kash Patel, is stirring up major concerns. Despite a heated Senate confirmation hearing last Thursday, Patel seems on track to take the job. But why is this pick considered one of Trump’s most troubling decisions yet?

Journalist and author Garrett Graff recently sat down with The New York Times’ Michelle Cottle to dig into why Patel’s appointment could be a serious problem. Graff didn’t hold back, calling Patel one of the “most dangerous” Trump appointees. The big worry? Patel’s leadership could shake up the F.B.I. in ways that might destabilize the entire justice system.

During the Senate hearing, Patel faced tough questions, like whether someone who supported a song glorifying attacks on F.B.I. agents would be fit for the role. Patel confidently defended himself, but the doubts about his suitability remain strong. Critics argue that his history and approach could undermine trust in the agency at a time when it’s already under intense scrutiny.

As the debate over Patel’s confirmation heats up, many are left wondering: Is this the right person to lead one of America’s most critical institutions? Only time will tell, but for now, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
