Kash Patel, who was confirmed yesterday as the new head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), took his oath of office and was later seen in the Oval Office at the White House alongside his family. The photos, released by American attorney Alina Habba, show Richard Grenell, the presidential envoy for Special Missions, standing by Patel’s side. Grenell, who has been one of the biggest supporters and lobbyists for Patel’s confirmation, was present to celebrate the appointment.
Patel’s confirmation comes as the FBI is poised to face new challenges under his leadership, and the presence of Grenell emphasizes the influence and backing that Patel has from within the Trump administration. This move signals potential shifts in the direction of the FBI under the new leadership, with Grenell and Patel being seen as figures aligned with Trump’s policies and priorities.
