Former FBI agent Kyle Seraphin claims that Kash Patel is likely to be fired today, citing sources close to the matter. This comes after President Donald Trump announced the ouster of Pam Bondi as Attorney General.
According to Seraphin, Trump wants to make it look like the decision to fire Patel is his own, rather than a result of external pressure. Patel has been under scrutiny for his handling of investigations related to Trump.
Meanwhile, reports suggest that Trump has discussed replacing Bondi with Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin, and has also considered firing DNI Tulsi Gabbard.
Three fired FBI agents have sued the government, claiming they were illegally punished for their involvement in an investigation into Trump's efforts to overturn his 2020 election defeat.
The lawsuit adds to the mounting list of court challenges to a personnel purge by Kash Patel, which has resulted in the ousters of dozens of agents over the last year.
