Stop Conspiracy Theorist Kash Patel From Running the FBI

Donald Trump’s nomination of Kash Patel as FBI Director is a direct threat to the independence of federal law enforcement and the rule of law. Patel, a Trump loyalist and conspiracy theorist, has a troubling history of promoting baseless claims, attacking democratic institutions, and threatening to target reporters. He is unfit to lead the FBI, one of the nation’s most critical agencies for protecting justice and national security.

Patel’s record is alarming. He played a central role in advancing unfounded conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and has repeatedly sought to discredit investigations into Trump and his allies. Even more disturbing, Patel has openly threatened to use his power to go after reporters who have criticized him or his political allies. His nomination would not only politicize the FBI but also weaponize it against dissent and free speech.

Allowing Patel to lead the FBI would erode public trust, embolden authoritarian tendencies, and jeopardize the agency’s critical work. The FBI must remain independent, impartial, and committed to upholding the law—not serve as a tool for political retribution.

We call on the Senate to reject Kash Patel’s nomination as FBI Director. The American people deserve a leader who will prioritize justice and integrity—not one who prioritizes loyalty to Trump and threats against the press.

Sign this petition to demand the Senate protect the independence of the FBI and reject Kash Patel’s dangerous nomination. Let’s ensure that our justice system remains fair, impartial, and accountable to the American people.
