White House denies report of Trump considering removing FBI director [View all]

The Trump administration is denying a report from MS NOW that the president is considering removing FBI Director Kash Patel amid recent scrutiny of his use of Bureau resources.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a social media post that she read the story's headline to Trump in the Oval Office while he was meeting with Patel and the president responded: "What? That’s totally false. Come on Kash, let’s take a picture to show them you’re doing a great job!"

Leavitt posted a picture of Trump and Patel standing next to each other with their thumbs up.

MS NOW, citing three unnamed sources, reported that Trump and those around him have been concerned about reporting on Patel. An MS NOW spokesperson said in a statement after Leavitt's social media post that the news outlet "stands behind its reporting."
