William Webster Urges Senate to Reject Trump’s Nominees for Key Intelligence Posts

William Webster, the only person to have led both the FBI and CIA, is urging the US Senate to reject Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard as nominees for director of the FBI and director of national intelligence, respectively. In a letter, Webster highlighted Patel’s perceived over-loyalty to Trump as a threat to the rule of law, and criticized Gabbard for her lack of intelligence experience. He emphasized the need for nonpartisan leadership, warning that the safety of the American people depends on the Senate's careful consideration of the nominees’ qualifications.
