Trump Faces GOP Rift Over Potential FBI Director Pick

A split emerges within the Republican Party as Trump considers Kash Patel and Mike Rogers for FBI leadership.

President-elect Donald Trump is considering Kash Patel and Mike Rogers as potential replacements for current FBI Director Christopher Wray.
Kash Patel, a former Trump administration official, is backed by Trump's loyalists but criticized for his lack of traditional experience and desire for agency reform.
Mike Rogers, a former congressman and intelligence chair, is favored by establishment Republicans for his experience and potential bipartisan support.
The decision reflects a broader GOP divide between Trump's loyalists and more conventional party members.
Trump's choice could significantly impact the FBI's direction, particularly following past tensions over the agency's investigations.
