picky picks...................

US President-elect Donald Trump has picked a former aide, Kash Patel, to lead the Federal Bureau of Investigation, an agency Patel has often criticised.

A former US defence department chief of staff in the first Trump administration, Patel has been a steadfast supporter of the incoming Republican president.

For Patel to take the job, the current FBI director Christopher Wray would need to resign or be fired - although Trump did not call on him to do so in his post.

Separately, Trump said he plans to nominate Chad Chronister, sheriff of Florida's Hillsborough County, as head of the Drug Enforcement Agency.

Patel and Chronister join Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi in filling out Trump's law enforcement picks. 

Also on Saturday, Trump announced he had has selected Charles Kushner to be ambassador to France.

Mr Kushner is a real-estate developer and the father of Jared Kushner, husband of his daughter Ivanka Trump. 

The nomination appears to be the first administration position that Trump has formally offered to a relative since his re-election.

he's resigning....

FBI Director Christopher Wray has announced he will be stepping down from the job, after US President-elect Donald Trump said he wanted to replace him with Kash Patel.

Wray made the announcement at an all-staff town hall on Wednesday.

Trump nominated Wray in 2017, after sacking then-director James Comey over the ‘Russiagate’ scandal.

Wray’s resignation comes two days after Senator Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican, wrote an 11-page letter accusing him of mismanagement and “failure to take control of the FBI.”

Earlier this month, Trump – elected to a second term in November – nominated Patel to head the bureau in the next administration. Democrats have opposed the move, arguing that Wray still had several years left in his tenure. 

FBI directors can serve up to ten years under a law passed by Congress after the bureau’s founding head, J. Edgar Hoover, passed away. Hoover was in charge of the FBI and its predecessor for a total of 48 years.

Although Wray was a registered Republican and a Trump appointee, the incoming president criticized his subservience to the Biden administration over the past four years.

“He invaded my home,” Trump said in an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press, referring to the 2022 FBI raid on his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

“I can’t say I’m thrilled” about the FBI, Trump added, citing Wray’s testimony in Congress that his ear had been struck by shrapnel instead of an assassin’s bullet this past July.
