It’s being reported that FBI Director Kash Patel might be the next cabinet member to be ousted by President Trump, according to taxpayer-funded Politico reporter Dasha Burns.
Here’s what she wrote:
NEW: A top White House official tells me that Kash Patel is likely the next Cabinet-level official to go.
“It’s only a matter of time,” the official, who was granted anonymity to discuss the sensitive matter, told me.
There are several reasons, the official said, but top among them is the number of negative stories centered on Patel is “not a good look for a Cabinet secretary,” and Trump is fed up with the level of distraction.

It was reported earlier this year that Trump wasn’t happy with Patel celebrating in the locker room with the US men’s hockey team. This may stem from that, or it might be fake news. I don’t know.
I don’t really have a big problem with how Patel is doing as FBI Director for the most part. He seems pretty focused to me, but at the end of the day if Trump isn’t happy, Patel will be gone.
