President Donald Trump has FBI Director Kash Patel’s back, defending the embattled bureau director in an interview with Fox News on Saturday in response to criticism over the investigation into the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

FBI Director Kash Patel is bracing for scrutiny over his leadership of the Charlie Kirk investigation and other areas when he appears before Congress this coming week for oversight hearings.

The shooter who assassinated Charlie Kirk escaped through a wooded area where a “high-powered, bolt-action rifle” was later recovered, the FBI said Thursday morning.

The FBI doubled to $100,000 a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of a man believed to have fired a gun at officers during a chaotic July immigration raid at a Camarillo cannabis farm.

Trump credited North Carolina Republicans such as Senator Ted Budd for requesting the aid. Two days prior, Budd had skewered Kristi Noem’s Department of Homeland Security for delays in the disbursement of $5.95 billion in Federal Emergency Management Agency funds—$4.2 billion of which the state was reportedly still waiting for as of June.

President Donald Trump claims federal officers reduced crime in Memphis and plans National Guard deployment, drawing mixed reactions from Tennessee officials.

A new lawsuit filed by fired FBI agents says the bureau "tried to put the President in jail and he hasn't forgotten it."
