Despite this, Trump announced Patel&#8217;s nomination as a bold move against the intelligence community. In his statement, Trump praised Patel as a skilled lawyer and investigator committed to fighting crime and corruption in America. Patel has a background in law and national security and gained attention while working with Rep. Devin Nunes on controversial issues related to the Steele dossier and FBI misconduct.
