Trump’s FBI pick co-hosted a show for a conspiracy-filled, far-right media organization - eviltoast

Summary

Donald Trump’s FBI pick, Kash Patel, co-hosted “Kash’s Corner,” a show on the far-right outlet The Epoch Times, promoting conspiracy theories about election fraud, the FBI, and the “deep state.”

Patel, a former Trump official, criticized the FBI’s leadership and called for a “major overhaul,” often pushing debunked claims, including FBI involvement in the Jan. 6 riots.

His association with The Epoch Times, which faces federal fraud allegations, raises concerns ahead of his Senate confirmation.

Critics argue his role legitimized fringe narratives and threatens the FBI’s credibility under his leadership.
