Politico has learned about the possible imminent dismissal of FBI Director Patel

The director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Cash Patel, may soon leave his post. This was reported by the Politico newspaper on April 25, citing an official.

"It's only a matter of time," the source told the publication.

According to the official, one of the main reasons for the possible dismissal was the large number of negative publications about Patel. The source noted that such materials "do not color the cabinet minister," and American leader Donald Trump is tired of the constant distraction of attention to the scandals surrounding the director of the secret service.

The department itself declined to comment on information about Patel's future.

At the same time, the day before, White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt said that the US president continues to trust the FBI director, despite media reports about his problems with alcohol. She also noted that thanks to the efforts of the team, including Patel, the United States has managed to reach the lowest murder rate in 125 years.
