Kashyap “Kash” Patel, nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to head the FBI, is a prominent attorney and political operative with a diverse background. Born in 1980 to Indian immigrants in New York, Patel has a strong educational foundation, holding degrees from the University of Richmond and Pace University School of Law. His career includes roles as a federal prosecutor and chief of staff at the Department of Defense, where he focused on national security issues
