Patel will make his own decision on investigations, Trump says no to direct FBI involvement against enemies

In a recent statement, President-elect Donald Trump made it clear that he will not be directing his associates Pam Bondi or Kash Patel to pursue investigations against President Joe Biden or Jack Smith. Trump’s decision comes amidst swirling speculation about potential investigations into his political rivals.

While Trump has stated that he will not be directly involved in instructing Bondi and Patel, he did mention that they are free to make their own decisions on the matter. This raises concerns about potential political motivations behind any investigations that may be launched by Bondi and Patel.

The idea of utilizing political allies to target opponents is not a new concept in American politics, and Trump’s statement has only added fuel to the fire. Critics argue that this could be seen as an abuse of power, while supporters maintain that it is simply a matter of individuals taking action based on their own beliefs.

As the transition of power continues, all eyes will be on how Bondi and Patel choose to proceed in the coming weeks. The implications of their actions could have far-reaching consequences for the political landscape of the country.
