Kash Patel could be the next Trump administration official to be fired, with discussions about his future reportedly being held within President Donald Trump's close circle.
However, no concrete decision has been made yet, and the timing of Patel's possible firing is uncertain.
As rumors broke out, Patel's long-time girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, shared a message on social media, posting about the Supreme Court's birthright citizenship hearing on April 1.
She wrote, 'Being an American is more than just a geographical thing. It is an idea, a passion, a belonging. If you apply legally for that belonging, welcome! But birth tourism incentivizes crime and other major safety and security issues for the US. America, for Americans.'
The FBI Director is battling controversy on multiple fronts, including a hacking incident where an Iranian-linked hacker group claimed to have hacked his email account and published personal photos online.
The FBI has said that 'malicious actors' had targeted Patel's personal email information and has taken steps to mitigate potential risks.
Additionally, three former FBI agents have filed a class action lawsuit against Patel, alleging they were wrongfully terminated and seeking reinstatement.
