US President Donald Trump has nominated Kash Patel as director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). If confirmed, Patel could become the highest-ranking Indian American in Trump’s incoming management.
Patel, a lawyer and national security expert, has long been a trusted adviser to Trump. His nomination reflects Trump’s intent to bring allies to key roles before he returns to office.
This argument is an important moment for Indian Americans in American politics, as well as solidifying their scenario in high-level government positions.
