Amid growing speculation over his future in the Donald Trump administration, reports suggest that Kash Patel could be the next senior official to exit the cabinet.
According to a recent report by Politico, questions have reportedly surfaced within White House circles regarding Patel’s future, leading to increasing internal concerns. The speculation has intensified this week over which senior Trump administration official could be the next to depart, especially after the removal of the US Navy Secretary with Trump’s approval.
A senior White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, reportedly indicated that Patel may be next in line for a possible ouster, saying, “It’s only a matter of time.”
The official cited several concerns behind the speculation, including growing negative media coverage surrounding Patel, which was described as “not a good look for a Cabinet secretary.” Reports also claimed that Trump has become increasingly frustrated over distractions caused by the controversy.
The developments come amid wider political discussions in Washington about possible reshuffles in key administrative positions. However, the White House has not officially confirmed any decision regarding Patel’s status.
