New FBI Director Kash Patel has told senior officials that he plans to relocate up to 1,000 employees from Washington to field offices around the country and move an additional 500 to a bureau facility in Huntsville,

Patel joins the list of nominees who endured an uphill battle before finally getting confirmed. They include Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretary of Health and Human Services, Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
