President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI Director, Kash Patel, reportedly faced a cyberattack on Tuesday believed to have come from Iran, according to sources familiar with the matter. Patel is a long-time Trump ally and a key figure in his first administration. He was nominated Saturday after Trump announced plans to replace Christopher Wray. A Trump transition spokesman highlighted Patel’s pivotal role in combating Iran’s regime during Trump’s first term and expressed confidence in his ability to safeguard the U.S. from adversaries.
