He served as Chief of Staff, Deputy Director of National Intelligence and Senior Director of the Counter-Terrorism Department in the Department of Defense. During his tenure, he participated in more than 60 court hearings in favor of the administration.”

Connection to Gujarat

Kash Patel was born on February 25, 1980 in Garden City, New York. His parents belong to Gujarat, although they reached the US via Tanzania and Uganda. Patel received a bachelor's degree from the University of Richmond and a law degree from Pace University. He served as Chief of Staff to the Acting Defense Secretary in the final months of the Trump administration in 2017.

Criticism of the FBI and promise of new changes

Kash Patel has been a vocal critic of the FBI's intelligence functioning during the Biden administration. He has demanded reform and change in the role of the agency. He made it clear that officers who do not support Trump's agenda should be removed.

Inspiration for the Indian-American community
