On Kash Patel’s potential as FBI Director:
“I look very favorabl[y] upon him at this particular time, and I expect him to [get] through. And I expect him to make some big changes on the eighth floor of the Hoover building here in Washington, D.C., and have the FBI become a law enforcement agency and not the political weapon that it’s been…”
On Pam Bondi’s nomination to be Attorney General:
“I’m enthused with her work as Attorney General of Florida and what she’s done as a prosecutor. I think we’re going to find the Justice Department prosecuting and not being used as a political weapon against political enemies.
“There’s one thing that can speed up her nomination, and that is if the transition team that we’re working with of the new Trump administration would get the background investigations and the other paper – particularly the ethics reports that we ought to have. We don’t have any of that paper yet. I want to get it so I can schedule [Bondi’s] hearing for [January] the 14th.”
