William Webster, the only individual to have led the FBI and CIA, expressed concerns over Trump’s choices for intelligence positions.
He wrote a letter to senators highlighting the need for complete independence from political ties in these roles.
Kash Patel, nominated to head the FBI, has faced scrutiny for his close alignment to Trump, raising concern over impartiality.
Tulsi Gabbard was nominated for director of national intelligence, but Webster warned she lacks the required intelligence experience to lead effectively.
