Trump\u2019s choice as director of the F.B.I., does not have the typical background for that position. A former federal prosecutor and public defender, he has little management or law enforcement experience. The president-elect cites as a key credential Mr. Patel\u2019s unflagging efforts to discredit the Justice Department\u2019s investigation into Russian efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election in favor of Mr. Trump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Here are five takeaways from <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/14\/us\/politics\/kash-patel.html\" title=\"\">a recent New York Times profile<\/a> of Mr. Patel, who has denounced his critics as biased against Mr. Trump and has said he led efforts to expose F.B.I. \u201ccorruption.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-5e3fdeb5\">Former colleagues question his qualifications.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump said <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/113574572759738919\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">in his social media post announcing<\/a> his choice for the F.B.I. that Mr. Patel had \u201ctried over 60 jury trials.\u201d Colleagues from Mr. Patel\u2019s time as an entry-level public defender in Florida recall him as a middling performer with a deep animosity toward the Justice Department prosecutors he found himself up against. His former supervisor, Michael Caruso, a federal public defender who led the Southern District of Florida office at the time, said that Mr. Patel shied away from filing motions that he was likely to lose.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Patel spent about three years as a terrorism prosecutor at the Justice Department. He has repeatedly claimed he was the \u201clead prosecutor\u201d in the government\u2019s pursuit of the perpetrators of the 2012 attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans. In fact, Mr. Patel was a junior Justice Department staff member at the time, and he was not part of the trial team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-407749be\">He is the author of the \u2018Nunes Memo.\u2019<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump ordered that Mr. Patel be given a job on the National Security Council staff after Mr. Patel, then a House Intelligence Committee staffer, impressed Mr. Trump as the primary author of what has come to be called the secret \u201cNunes memo.\u201d The document was a key element in the effort of House Republicans to undermine the Justice Department\u2019s investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Patel\u2019s memo, which Mr. Trump declassified over the objections of the intelligence agencies and Democrats, fueled bogus claims by Mr. Trump, Republicans and conservative media that politics drove the Russia investigation and that the government had spied on the Trump campaign itself. <\/p>\n<div class=\"css-1336jj\">\n<div class=\"css-121kum4\">\n<div class=\"css-asuuk5\"><noscript><\/p>\n<div class=\"css-7axq9l\" data-testid=\"optimistic-truncator-noscript\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"css-1b5b8u1\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M2.5 12a9.5 9.5 0 1 1 19 0 9.5 9.5 0 0 1-19 0Zm8.5 1.75v-7.5h2v7.5h-2Zm0 2v2h2v-2h-2Z\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\/><\/svg><\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"optimistic-truncator-noscript-message\" class=\"css-6yo1no\">\n<p class=\"css-3kpklk\">We are having trouble retrieving the article content.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-3kpklk\">Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/noscript><\/p>\n<div class=\"css-1dv1kvn\" id=\"optimistic-truncator-a11y\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<hr\/>\n<p>Thank you for your patience while we verify access.
